owie

feeling...sluggish. I had a doctor's appointment this morning, and I stopped for a quick hamburger on the way home...bad idea. Stress + IBS + McDonalds = no productivity today. So far all I've gotten done is cutting the bones for both backs and half of the left front. I had to walk away partially to lay in the fetal position and partially because cutting those fuckers is HARD and was really starting to hurt. 

So now I'm on the couch with a copy of PoF planning how to make this gown. Part of me thinks it's inane to think I can make a gown and finish these stays by Saturday...but I have four full days...I used to make whole gowns in ONE. If I can just get myself FOCUSED. The goal for tomorrow is to have the gown cut out, all the boning in and either the binding started or the back pleated. I can use my old stays for fittings and an emergency back up. They're too small but I could always lace them more open or make a quick stomacher if I got desperate...

Someone give me a pep talk please.

just popped in to say

Binding tabs sucks giant monkey balls...I have ONE of four pieces fully bound...at least it's a front and they have more tabs...but yeah. This is just supposed to be the test pair..next time I'm combining to the tiny front tabs. I highly doubt they're needed. And they just look poopy...I also forgot to go back and put in the little perpendicular tab bones...oops...so if I decided they're necessary I'll sew them on in an external casing I guess. *head desk*
