It depends. Sometimes I do prewash, but if I know for sure that it won't be washed then I don't bother. I do love the process though.

My storage isn't where I'd like it to be. I have it mostly in some clear tupperware containers, separated by fabric types.

You know I have been there before too. I've had a few people not even say ANYTHING not even that it wasn't really for them. Nothing. I think that hurts the most. Also the fact that they were creative people themselves made it sting a little more.

I no longer sew over pins, and in fact I've started using them. I've also started ironing and prepping the fabric.

I guess my bad habits would include...
- Not working on lining things up as much.
- Not planning things out and sort of just jumping in.
- Making a HUGE mess in my sewing area.
- I don't know if this is a "bad habit" so much as a lack of skills or patience, but I tend to not sew straight lines.

There are two things that I normally don't like... bright rainbow colors all put together and patchwork skirts (although I love patchwork quilts). But, when I looked at this and I was just awe struck. Not only is it just gorgeous and well put together, but it's a testament to working so very very hard at something and having a beautiful, creative, fun end result. I was just writing a blog post about creativity and what happens when you share. I know just how you feel.

Please don't let them get you down. You're a amazing artist.

You are so thoughtful and creative! This is hilarious.

I clicked this rocks. I am such a huge trekkie and this is just perfect. You did a wonderful job.

You know... I've never been too into the poppet dolls, but this is just adorable. You did a great job!!

Chelsea I always love everything you post, but these are especially ridiculously adorable. I mean, when I look at them I feel like my face is about to explode!!! Thank you so much for posting your creations, they're just great!

This is amazing! You did such a great job, you can tell even from small thumbnails that it's Dylan.
