When motivation disappears the instinct is usually to solve it with something exciting: a new pattern, an ambitious project, something that feels worthy of the effort of getting started again. In my experience that almost never works. What actually works is something small, something with no pressure, and something you can finish in a single sitting.
A tote bag is my go-to for exactly this reason. There's no fitting involved, muslin, or adjustments. You cut the pieces, you sew them together, and you're done.
