Sitting down in front of your sewing machine and finishing a big project can be a monumental task, whether it’s your 10th set of full-length curtains or your first little embroidery project. Finding time, space, and motivation to complete your work can be difficult, but the feeling of accomplishment upon completing your project is worth it. Here are three great motivation tips for finishing your latest sewing project. 

3 Motivation Tips for Finishing Your Sewing Project

1. Make It a Gift

Giving a beautiful sewing or embroidery project as a gift can help you finish your work in record time. For one thing, a gift has a due date; a birthday, holiday, or graduation date can push you to the finish line. Also, giving a gift makes your work meaningful for someone other than yourself, and that can be a huge motivating factor. Think about how special your project will be to the recipient, and the work will fly by. 

2. Follow Others’ Projects

SewingSocial media can be a big distraction from your sewing machine, but it can also serve as motivation for your own projects. Get on Facebook, Instagram, or Pinterest and follow a few amazing sewing hobbyists and their work. You’ll feel inspired by their success and more motivated to complete what you have begun. 

3. Get a Partner

Accountability is a great way to achieve any number of goals; finishing a degree, losing weight, or eating right all work better with a partner to hold you responsible. Join a local sewing group or craft circle, and see if someone will join you in a race to the finish line with a particular project. You can motivate each other to finish something beautiful.
