Many people are afraid to sew something new and different.
When they see a pattern that calls for techniques they have never done, they are afraid they cannot make it. Because the lace insertion on this nightgown for American Girls looks difficult, it can easily bring up these kinds of fears even though this nightgown pattern is actually very easy. We all have a negative voice inside our head criticizing what we do. It can run us down and criticize us for anything new. It can generate so much fear that I will not even begin a project.
