Well, my procrastination socks are coming along nicely.
No, that's not all I've been doing lately, but what I have been doing has nothing to show for it.
This week has seen my attempts at drafting a regency dress pattern end in frustration. I mean, really, punching myself in the nose as I attempted to adjust the mock up was the last straw. A follow up attempt to make a simple A line skirt also turned out just Not Right. Bah.
So now I'm waiting on printer ink for my finally-decided-to-start-working-again-printer to arrive so I can print out my newly aquired Regency dress epattern, and It Will Work This Time, Damnit. I'm also hoping to pick up an entire car load of apple wood for a second attempt at lye extraction. And possibly some carving if the wood pieces I'm given are large enough.
Until then, I have to keep myself out of trouble. It's not like I don't have plenty to be doing, but let's see what I can get finished off this week.
I hear ya! Pattern drafting can be so frustrating!! Great to have an existing pattern to start from, always makes it so much easier! No need to reinvent the wheel after all :)
ReplyDeleteI know, I have a terrible hesitation about using commercial patterns, and I need to find my way over it!
