Current Mood : Hopeless
Ok. I
felt better today, but…I just couldn’t make m’self sew the Qi Pao for the trade
today. This usually happens. I can sew for me, no problem, but when I’m sewing
for someone else, I jam up something fierce. I have the hardest time even
starting ! I’m so afraid of failure, or even making something that is just too
easy to metaphorically rip to shreds, it’s a challenge to sew a stitch.
I
did, however, find the fabric. But I was just too distracted and hyper to sew
either the box or the dress, although I wanted to sew something, just to keep my hands busy. I’d noticed a few days ago
that Dearest Son’s DracuLaura was running around commando – no shorts, no
skirt, nothin’. At least she was wearing her issue blouse. None of his others were
half-dressed, so I figured I'd stitch up a quick skirt for her. The one I made
for my green CAM Saturday was easy, and I could use the same fabric for the Qi
Pao, make sure I had the tension and stitches correct. And I needed some
practice in jeans seams – I always go crooked.
So,
there she is, with Dearest’s adorable Halloween Kitty ! It came out very well,
and even my topstitching looks good. It helps that the thread matches the
fabric so closely. I also got the Ghouls
Rule bowl and ‘hand’ stand in the mail – my buffet is complete. Should have
a photo for you soon, if I get all these projects knocked out !
