you have permission to pick that 2 year old "abandoned" project back up. it's not mad at you for setting it aside. and maybe time and distance have helped ease or erase the things that made you put it down in the first place.
i started this battle jacket before i got medicated for my adhd and it's literally been hanging in my closet with the patches pinned to it for two years + a move. and now that i am medicated, i had the ability to ask myself why exactly the hand stitching was giving me such an issue to begin with, and then i was able to carry that into searching up solutions to the problem. it hurt my hands! and using an embroidery hoop, sewing with a thimble, and using pliers to pull the needle through the really thick patches solved all those problems!
and look, it's not mad at me! it's like i never abandoned it in the first place!
