    Faciings! Definitely facings for me. And interfacing those facings!

      Michele I sometimes have problems with facings too! Especially armhole facings for sleeveless tops, dresses, etc. When there is a front and back armhole facing that is inserted after the side seams are sewn I often have problems making it fit properly.

    Cutting out a pattern is my least favorite, I wish they all came pre-cut in the envelope!

      Laying the pattern out and cutting can be a tedious process Bonnie. Especially when trying to match plaids and stripes. I had developed a habit of going ahead and cutting 3 garments at once and then sewing them up. It's been a while since I've done that thought. I need to get back to doing that.

    Cutting is definitely my least favourite part. I just want to start putting the thing together to see how it's all going to work out.

    For me is to undo my previous work. I also hate doing alterations to any finished piece (even purchased ones). It's like disrupting the natural way of things,...

      I agree Tany, undoing is for the birds. Love the way you explained doing alterations.

    I dislike sewing any long type of tube, especially narrow ones, and then turning inside out.
    I actually enjoy cutting out the pattern. Or I guess I should say I don't really mind it.
