Listen. Listen. Come here.
When you're trying to do a quick and simple sewing project maybe - just maybe - don't do it in a black and white print fabric that you can't stand to see interrupted by a line of topstitching. Just saying.
**
This toot is sponsored by Winslow Culottes which is a simple and satisfying pattern with an absolutely punishing hem you don't want to be doing by hand.
Which I'm currently doing by hand.
This could have been, after pressing, about 15 minutes on the machine.
But no.
Black thread stands out too much against the white parts of the print; white thread is an eyesore on the black parts.
Here I am doing an invisible stitch by hand and hating myself.
They're gonna be so beautiful, I promise myself, so good. In about 2h of hand stitching. Instead of 15 mins on the machine. But it's fine 
With Celine Dion back on tour here's my hemming to the tune of "When I need you"
"Miles and miles of endless pant hems ahead us
A single toot can't tell the pain in my wrist
But you know I won't be hemming forever
It's cold out, but hold out, and hem like I do" 🎶
"When I need pants
I just close my eyes and I groan loud
All that I want to make for myself now
Is only a project away"
I'm absolutely overwhelmed by my sewing queue, and my own ambitions, so trying to progress three projects at once, and failing. So here's some photos of my finished Winslows.
Check out that hem.
Was it a royal pain in the arse? Oh yes. Is it absolutely superb? Oh, oh yes.
