Well done on an open, honest and transparent blog. I too took up sewing just over 5 years ago following a nervous breakdown. I had no confidence, had lost and didn’t recognise “myself” at all, and felt that I didn’t have any skills or purpose I had previously had to offer were gone.

I have not done any sewing since Xmas eve, when I finally finished my great nephews quilt.
The reason??? A picked up a bad case of the flu, which has left me bed bound for 6 days, and now house bound
