Yep! Unfortunately is happens to all of us. Sometimes doing something simple, mindless, but pretty, will break the rut.

All the time, I can easily get overwhelmed with the day-to-day stuff and never find sewing time, like my brain is on another planet.<br />

I admit I can't keep up with every challenge (and work a full time job plus all the other daily needs), sometimes I can't make a challenge work for me (or me for the challenge) so I just take it as I can and pretty much do what Adey said, look at patterns, fabric and clothing designs and try to find a spark. I think it's okay to take time off to get your creative…

I think it's okay to take time off to get your creative juices flowing. It sounds like you sew a lot, it has to be hard switching gears from costumes to you when it comes to sewing. I think just relax and roll with it. You'll get back into it! Mena...

It must be spring? BTW have you been following the children book inspired outfits over at No Big Dill "Once upon a thread" <a href="http://thedillspiel.blogspot.com/search/label/Once%20upon%20a%20thread%20" target="_blank">http://thedillspiel.blogspot.com/search/label/Once%20upon%20a%20thread%20</a>'11. I know the story I want to do and now that I went to the Spanish dress exhibit at the de Young, I think my Jennie inspired (but unfinished) bolero will become my Ferdinand inspiration:)

I'm so blocked right now :( For next week's challenge, I've already scrapped 3 unfinished skirts and made one top that I like but doesn't work well enough for the challenge -- and it's Friday! I've changed my story inspiration 3 times! Just rally through your frustration -- I know I've got to.

I've just had a holiday week and didn't do any sewing at all. It felt really weird not taking part in any challenge! Have found it really hard to get going again but we now have another long weekend here in the UK and while I was watching the Royal Wedding on TV I felt like doing some cutting out and I'm back in the swing of it again.
