What's your least favourite sewing task?

Another here for threading the needle, even that defeats me, a hem had come down on a pair of trousers, with all good intentions to sort that out, out came the rarely used sewing basket, back it went sometime later. Just not up to the the preliminary stage of threading the needle, all had very small eyes, and I don't have good eyes for anything miniscule, workman/woman always blame their tools

At school it took me around two years to make and finish a purple mini skirt, by that time maxi skirts had arrived and purple wasn't on trend anymore once inept with a needle and thread, always inept, that's me!

Sewing together my knitted garments. I get so excited when I get a new pattern and the wool to go with it yet I could scream at the thought of sewing it together. Years ago I used to give my knitted pieces to my mam who used to love to sew them together and see the finished item. Not for me.

Using black thread on black fabric. I really struggle with this now, and just seeing the job makes my heart sink.

Darning! Tiny moth holes in jumpers that are too good to throw out. I can never find darning yarn in all the colours I would like. And I never was any good at darning anyway.

I dislike re-fashioning anything that I don`t wear, that just hangs in my wardrobe. I don`t waste things so I might make a nice skirt from a dress but that often involves making a waistband from the bodice. I just grit my teeth and get on with it. I am always glad when a re-purposing job is finished.

Today I am in process of shortening lined sleeves by 3", a really lovely jacket that I have ignored since 2008. Out of sight was out of mind. I just have to re-attach the shortened lining, will do that tomorrow. I did not at all enjoy that job

Anything on the machine. I don't actually mind doing it, but the fag of getting it out, set up, put away etc.

I love any hand sewing. Find it really therapeutic and calming.

When I bought this bungalow, it had a small extension off the lounge, just big enough for a dining table. This left the original dining room free to be my craft room! The first thing I did was buy a table to keep my sewing machine on so it is always out and ready to use! It’s such a luxury after years of sewing on the dining table and having to clear away at meal times.

'Invisible stitches' where they're not supposed to show at the front of the garment!
It's hit and miss with my stitching, which I do by hand.
