How do you get over a hang-up over a part of sewing
you don't particularly like much, say fusing interfacing
for example?

I now know why DS's trousers have been sitting around
cut out for nearly two months.....

I play an interesting radio program or movie to get me through it while
keeping something else going in the background of my brain.

Of course, this means that I need to be EXTRA careful that I don't mess
up, because my detested task is making buttonholes.

For fusing interfacing, you can also set up a tabletop ironing board and
do one piece a day until it is done.

I only had 5 small pieces to do! Unfortunately there is no spare
table top surface to set up an ironong board on, we a dining table,
my sewing table, which is also machine storage space, and a table/
desk for a computer. I like listening to music while I sew, but it
didn't seem to help today. I just had to make myself go do it.

My study has the computer set up in one corner, and the long work/sewing
table down one wall opposite. I also have a decent wheeled executive type
of chair. The floor is ceramic tiles.

Whenever I get to fiddly stuff or bits I don't particularly enjoy, it's
quick and easy to scoot across the study from work table to computer to
take a break for a few minutes, then return for a few minutes more of
whatever it is that's irritating me.

99% of zips don't bother me... But WHY do I have to LOOK UP men's fly
zips every damned time! I just have a mental block about that fly
shield. Gngngngngngng!
