Default Sewing Question

I think that depends on the personality of the person in question (you,
perhaps?) ... try to think of a project where the "reward" (the finished
product) will be great enough to outweigh the "dislike."

For some, that might be a purse or handbag ... for others, it might be a
wallhanging (quilt), for another it might be pot holders, and for those with
small girls, it might be a cute pinafore or sundress!

What other interests does this person have? Cooking? Knitting? Camping?
Chances are, you can always, always, always find a sewing project that will
complement other interests!!

Also, a dislike of sewing usually comes from a "bad experience" with sewing
.... for me, it was Home Ec in HS (and I've been told I'm not alone in that
respect). If you really want to encourage this person to enjoy sewing, find
out *why* they dislike it. Do they feel that it's too hard? Too complicated?
Tried it a few times and didn't get the results they wanted? Were pushed
into it by someone else when they weren't ready? Once you find the *why* you
can usually find the *how* of making them more comfy with it!!

Just my two cents!! Good luck!!

I have been lurking the newsgroup for a few days, and I have a
question. What is a good project for someone who doesn't like
sewing,but wants to get over that dislike?
