There's a lot of pressure on creative people to su

There's a lot of pressure on creative people to succeed/produce/create. But what about the times when you don't? How do you handle failure?⁣
⁣
If you've failed, then you know: it's hard. It hurts. It can feel like you don't know anything, and that your skills will never get better, or be “as good as so and so on Instagram” 😏⁣
⁣
If you've had a failed sewing project, chances are good that you learned something from it—and that means your next attempt has a much better chance of success than your last one did. Think about that: failure is a ladder UP to success, not down!⁣
⁣
So don't be afraid to fail! And send this post to your sewing bestie who might need a little encouragement today.⁣

Fauntleroy works in so many different fabrics! Try it in a trendy quilted knit, a drapey jersey, or even a French Terry. You probably have the perfect stash fabric right now…tell me what you could use for your own Fauntleroy 👇🏽⁣

Let's take a closer look at the Fauntleroy Pattern!⁣
⁣
Fauntleroy is a raglan-sleeved top with shoulder darts. The neckline can be finished with a simple band, a comfy cowl neck, or a hood. The extra long sleeve cuffs give you the chance to play with texture and color blocking. There is even a free kangaroo pocket add on!⁣
⁣
Fauntleroy will keep you cozy all season long!⁣
