I have been sewing clothes and following patterns for 45 years. Yeah. A very long time. So, why is it that I am running into snags with my current sewing project? Is it because the pattern is poorly written? (Nope.) Is it because the instructions are incorrect? (That's what I thought it must be for a long time.) Or, is it because I think I know everything and don't read the instructions thoroughly? AH-HA! That would be it. The first snag was because I did not take the time to read the pattern instructions thoroughly...which resulted in me redoing most of what was done. Another snag was hit when I asked someone for a measurement and was given a number that I should have known was not correct. I am trying to finish up what should have been a very simple sewing project for me. I still have a few hours left. I am more than a bit frustrated. I just hope that - in the end - it's worth it. That the article fits properly and that it is loved by the recipient.
Here's a sneak peek...
Though I didn't get as much done this past week as I had hoped, I did manage to finish a block for my hand-pieced quiltalong! YAY for me!
For those of you who are wondering how my knitting is going (I know there is at least one of you out there!), I am on the second heel-less sock and it's going great!
This weekend is all but over...another work week ahead. Hope this one is easier...last week wore me out!
Have a good week!
