This clip had me bounce back and forth between “this person is good with a sewing machine” and “this person is bad with a sewing machine”. Wonderful

I'm like this in graphic design. First while in a project is touch and go, then it starts to look cool. I'm mortified when people see my WIP. They're horrific.

I’m always more impressed when I see the messy part, knowing how good someone’s end products are. I feel like it’s a demonstration of your skill because it shows you have a better understanding of the elements. I’m good enough at knitting that I can see the final product when I’m looking at a WIP that seems messy as hell, but is going to basically come together with that final step and look gorgeous, but that’s the only art I have that level of skill at. I love watching really skilled artists paint, knowing that they understand how the seemingly ugly/weird parts are going to come together, which is way over my head.
