I have discovered the hell that is cutting out pattern paper. It acts like it’s in 0g, it’s ridiculously fragile, you have to iron it out *and make very sure you aren’t adding to the multitudinous tiny creases in it*, etc, etc…

Ahrglgrgrh!

Trying to sew a pair of indoor shorts for Boyf and so far:

- Overlocker needle broke
- Overlocker cutter jammed
- Sewing machine thread broke repeatedly
- 1st test garment was waay to small (halved waist measurement when I should have doubled it)
- sewing machine tension would not set correctly, turns out thread might just be degraded?
- Somehow managed to sew 2nd test garment UpSIDE DOWN ?! (FFS)

Stopping tonight and going to try again tomorrow ::sigh::

#Sewing #sewingwoes

I had plans to make two lined sweater dresses in very different ways, using different fabrics, that happened to be the same outside color. The one on the left was put in for a pre wash, this morning and was chewed to death by my washer. I am very sad.

Let us all mourn the loss of our fabric brethren with a moment of silence.
