Breakthrough!
Not only do we have a functional computer again (Public Service Announcement: don’t fill your Mac hard drive beyond 70% capacity; just ask Josh & I what happens), but I also managed to let go of some slightly obnoxious perfectionist tendencies I have with regard to sewing.
Yep, on my latest project, I had a significant bobbin malfunction (it happens to the best of us, right?) and had some bobbin stitches—yes, the stitches no one really sees—go wonky. And I took a deep breath, fixed what I could, and moved on with life.
And, you know what? It looked just find.
Kind of liberating, I think.

well think of perfectionism as this: moment of regret, lifetime of happy memories. Or something like that unless you go truly neurotic and then…well…at least you will have some pretty crafts…LOL
Sometimes, it’s just not worth it to stress over the little stitches no one will see…Doesn’t it feel good to let it be?
I’ve started to leave one little glitch in every garment I sew — usually something very, very small that the average person wouldn’t notice — just to remind myself that it’s OK. Most of the time, after my first wear, I don’t remember the little glitch is there anyway.
