going cross eyed

slowly cutting out the plaid regency...very slowly. You see when you have OCD and are trying to match up curved seams...I am a wee bit nerotic about pattern matching and there are times when I really need to just take a deap breath and let it go.

I got some lovely velvet piping made and then the bodice pieces traced out before my back went, "YOU IDIOT STAND UP FROM THIS TABLE" so I did. I suppose I'll take a little bit of a break and then go back to it. I'd like to at least get all the plaid cut today. I'd consider that good progress.

bored with me yet?

another boring post...My dress is all cut out! well sans sleeves but I haven't decided on sleeve style yet. I'm not sharing any pictures yet, not sure if this will be a surprise project, it's not really a secret as everyone knows it's coming. We'll see how chuffed I am with it after another day of sewing..

oh and side note. Just incase LJ does do stupid new things I do have a dreamwidth account that perhaps I should figure out how to link with here, I did change my name though. Seemed like an excellent time to drop an emo name I came up with 10+ years ago. Over there I'm Robinsnest.
