I think challenges & struggles are good. I specifically remember the first time I took an actual sewing class. Prior to the sewing class, I struggled to finish a full garment for YEARS. I took the class and it took me WEEKS to finish simple things. While learning to sew, I agreed to a fashion show (very ambitious of me, I know) & I improved more on my own during that time than those weeks I spent in class! Finishing faster, learning different techniques, & really challenged myself.

I say all of that to say. If it wasn’t for the struggle of trying to finish 10 looks in 1 month at the beginning level, it would have taken me wayyyy longer to move past that level of sewing. Although not an expert, and still very much an intermediate sewist, concepts became easier to understand with time.
