well that wasn't the day I planned

I was supposed to spend today finishing ladyxjade's short stays, which are taking me forever. It's not that they're hard, in fact they're quite straight forward. The problem is when I'm sewing for someone not me I get extra neurotic. "is the binding off by a smidge?" "Is that line totally straight?" "did I knot off those ends securely?" So it takes me seven times longer! I just want to be extra sure that what I hand over is both up to my standards and hers.

I had just picked up the stays when my phone rang. It was JoAnn's. Would I like to pick up some hours today? Sadly the answer was yes. I was only scheduled three days this week so I couldn't really turn down the hours, so down the stays went and on went my work clothes. I came home at 5:30 pretty brain dead. But I did manage to make myself work a little. I got the bottom edge bound and all the boning channels finished. Granted one corner bound up perfectly and one looks like arse. So I might have to unpick the one corner...

Tomorrow I WILL finish them. Cutting bones, insert cording, top edge binding, eyelets is all that remains. I can totally do that in a day.
