I need a fabric stiffener that is weather resistant. Any ideas?
I created a fabric wreath and have tried two different brands of fabric stiffeners that have failed, any help appreciated.
Fear and lack of self-confidence to start off with.
Failing to have all the items for the project, and the thought of driving through weekend traffic to the store.
The garage is a mess, and I don't feel like cleaning it up to start the project. I should have cleaned it up when I finished the last project.
Its too hot/cold, windy, rainy to work in the garage.
Its my weekend, and I'm feeling too lazy and I just want to serial watch Netflix or Hulu.
Pure, unadulterated laziness.
worrying that it won't look as cool in person as it does in my head.
Work hours
not having all the needed pieces, cost of project.
Time!!!!
Finishing other projects that are waiting for me.
There are three things tied for #1 for me. Cost, weather, and often do not have the space for a larger project. I redo a lot of furniture. Some times its larger pieces. One day I will have a shop and two of those three items will be eliminated!
Time, space and weather. A lot of the projects are to be completed over several days and need space I do not have. It is too hot to paint now, it dries on the brush. And never ever enough time!
Lack of confidence that I don't know what I'm doing & will fail. I want to start trying new projects out of my comfort zone though!
Kids!! Lol
