..Is an admirable quality in many areas. Sewing, however, is not one of them.

I’ve been working on a birthday gift for a few days. One night I measured the pieces and cut them out. The next day I pieced together the front pocket and the linings. Last night, I put it all together – all I have left is handstitching the lining closed and to make the keyhole hanging part. I wasn’t exceptionally tired, but i noticed that my attention was waning. And I’ve messed up too many projects to know when to put the needle down. So I stopped work.

During my long run yesterday morning, I pushed even though I was getting tired. Doing the same while sewing, not so smart.
