How to Conquer Your Cutting Anxiety

Cutting anxiety is a valid issue that many people deal with to different degrees. But it shouldn’t prevent you from completing your projects. It can be conquered—it can be overcome—and you can do the thing! Hopefully, this video can help you conquer your fear. Featuring a couple of familiar faces! Can you spot them? 🙃 In this video, I talk about cutting anxiety and lay out five practical, real-life steps not only for dealing with your fear but also fixing that which we all worry about the most: when you cut into your fabric and mess it up. Is it the end of the world? Guess what? It’s not! This happened to me last fall while making a veil for my Medieval Maleficent costume. Known as the infamous “butt veil,” I almost scrapped the whole project—but ended up piecing it together into something even better than the original! It’s a hand-sewn medieval veil with a historically-inspired beadwork. In this video, I’ll show you not only how I pieced it together to cover the awkward cut, but also how I hand-beaded the edge to distract the eye from my piecing. Spoiler: it turned out awesome! A huge, huge thank you to my fellow makers who took the time out of their schedules to goof off with me in this video! Please check out their socials and leave a little love for them in the comments!
