Dear Tansau 7..............I have found that the sewing /quilting adventure requires me to concentrate in such a way that Stress, Anxiety, Worry and a bunch of other "no nos" goes away for a time. Just take one step at a time and the best of "time" will be yours...

Hey, hit up that brother of yours for some of his stash.... ;)

I know you can do it.
It's not that I don't want to sew. My head wants to.
It's that I let my thinker become a stinker.
I get to procrastinating and it becomes a circle, and I am stuck.
When I finally do one thing, anything, and bust out of it, a little each day...usually by the second day, I am off and quilting again.
I am probably one of the slowest on here, but I shall not give up!!!
Sometimes I'm just cheese deficient :mrgreen:

I have a super easy link for making chemo caps. They look like surgical caps, but are reversable and they also tie in back. Each one takes an hour or less, start to finish to make, and if you use material that is under $5 a yard, it ends up costing less then $2 a cap....if that. You can also (using a serger to avoide thick seams) sew scraps together to make a very pretty cap from the pattern. I posted a few, if you want to go to my link, where the pattern link can be found, and samples shown. I'll post below the link and you can decide. It is fun and easy and helpful to those wth cancer who otherwise have to pay to cover a bald/balding head. The link is for adults and childrens caps.
