I have had to pull out threads and start again 100&#8217;s of times. Like most things, sewing success is all about trial and error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I had no idea, back in David&#8217;s law school days as I decided to take lessons, what a wonderful skill this is: mending, making, and remaking clothing. And learning self-control and patience came along with it. Just a fun project for me or sewing an order for others, practicing peace in the midst of a problem has grown my trust in Jesus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I sat with a sweet young girl recently, who&#8217;s learning the basics and told her the good news&#8230; it gets better!&nbsp;&nbsp;The more you try the better you will become. And today, YouTube offers amazing videos for problem solving- so many cool tricks by professionals. I never had that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting hung up on the things that go wrong, becoming overly frustrated or angry doesn&#8217;t help anything. Messes are just part of life and learning. Breathe, relax, call a sewing friend for advice. Keep your seam-ripper handy. If you don&#8217;t know what to do next, look it up on YouTube. Stop, pray and try again. &#x2b50;&#xfe0f;Keep your machine clean of fuzz and properly oiled. Re-thread often (!) and change your needle per project (type of fabric). Believe me, learning to sew saves a fortune! And you just might love it -like I do&#x2764;&#xfe0f; Anna&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ForGlorySake.com&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/forglorysake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_9925.jpeg?resize=640%2C506&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8083\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sewing &amp; Jesus &nbsp;Tangled thread, dull needle, a bobbin that ran-out, twisted seam&#8230; sewing is froth with delays and mishaps. 38 years ago my first teacher warned me, &#8220;your seam-ripper will be your best friend.&#8221; She was right!
