~Seamstress Hesitation~

Although I would hardly call myself a seamstress, I couldn't think of another way to put it. You see, I finally bought some cloth to make a new dress for myself. I haven't made a dress of any kind for 8 years... So I dug out the old pattern. Washed and ironed the fabric. Bought coordinating thread. And that is as far as I've gotten. I'm afraid to make the first cut with the scissors. What if after all this work, and all this time I don't like it? I loved the last one I made, I wore it right out. I've spent some time looking at patterns online and with the vast amount of them it got overwhelming. Sometime I will have to put the effort into bookmarking new patterns and then buy a couple at a time and try them out. For now, I have one. Oh, I know enough about sewing to be able to make adjustments to patterns to suit my taste, but I am far from an expert. I think the sewing wizard genes from my Grandmother and aunts skipped me. Well, I will get all the other work done around here and maybe tonight I will have enough courage to cut it out.
