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

You're also stubborn when presented with a challenge of interest (don't ask about her one Christmas gift). So, there's that. ;)

@ferricoxide @angldst all Christmas gifts start being made with love, but end being made with spite 😖
