Things I’ve Discovered at the Sewing Machine
Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008
A sneaky peek at what’s had me behind the sewing machine for the last 5 days or so (I’m taking a break tonight). Go ahead and pretend like those blocks all line up as perfectly as I wish they would.
So as the title promised, things I’ve discovered at my sewing machine this week:
– I may be better at sewing straight lines (most of the time), but I apparently haven’t mastered the skill of consistent seam allowances.
– There is not enough lighting in my living room for crafting after the sun goes down. I have another lamp that I should be able to turn on, but for some reason it trips the breaker every time I try to plug it in.
– Sitting on a folding chair from my card table set for long enough to do some sewing really makes my butt hurt.
– It’s funny to wait until the cats are sitting on the card table getting comfy, and then start sewing again. The whole table shakes and they get scared. HAHA!
– I’m finding sewing a bit harder than I thought I would. Or maybe I’m too much of a perfectionist. Or maybe I’m just not giving myself enough time to learn.
– I have no idea how to proceed with this project once I get done sewing my rows of squares together.
