the universe has to balance out somewhere
Sep. 20th, 2020 11:06 pmSewed too much last weekend; had to balance it out by sewing almost nothing this weekend!
I didn't actually mean to be terribly flighty this weekend... but it was absolutely glorious fall weather so I had to spend at least one full afternoon outside, and it was a Tom weekend so I had to catch up on snuggling (45 degree nights are so much better for a damn radiator in bed with you than 80 degree nights!), so my only day to be remotely productive was Friday.
I did intend to be remotely productive; I got my impulse purchase of a yard of orange plaid wool in the mail this week, so thought maybe I could make a new skirt this weekend. I even posted something to IG with a pattern and a gleeful air. And then I actually opened the pattern envelope and discovered that Past Me had decided to try making the skirt at some time in the distant past, because it was not in fact in the envelope. Um...oops? So I spent a chunk of Friday afternoon digging through Piles of Random Crap piled around the sewing room. I did not find the pattern bits I was looking for (they have to be somewhere because I never throw anything out), but I did manage to sort and disappear some of the piles. And I finally just said OH FINE WHATEVER I'LL USE THIS ONE and cut the damn thing out. And sewed one seam. And that was it.
Better than nothing...I guess? I am officially recording my doubts right now that I'll finish anything for Poe, though! Maybe I should focus on making the bonnet before the dress, because then at least I'll have something new...
