I think many good points have been made. I suggest you analyze what is stressing you....do you want it to turn out perfect to show your friend tomorrow? are you cutting into your favorite fabric? etc then mitigate that stress

I have good days when everything is clicking and others where I give up on sewing and just take notes. My goals have evolved into learning (and even in a bad class or a repeat of a technique I already know I almost always learn something or am reminded of something I forgot ) And my second goal is to not make my bad day a bad day for everyone else.

With those goals I come out of class with a least a couple positives.
