actually sewing
Jul. 5th, 2018 08:40 pmToday I started sewing for the Great War Event I'm planning to attend in Ringwood, NJ. IN AUGUST. I know, no one die of shock I'm having a hard time of it myself. I can't remember the last time I started sewing more than two weeks before an event. But I took a list at what I need in September and August...and I kind of started hyperventilating. ANYWAY, that resulted in me starting sewing...
I pulled out the fabric and realized I was supposed to order 2 yards and only ordered 1 as I'm a moron...many swears later, I pre-washed it and took it and the half yard I had left from making the 40s disaster and was able to squeak it out with just a seam down my sleeve and my facing on the cross grain.
Now please permit me a rant about this pattern:
It's literally marketed at WWI Blouse, 1910s pattern. IT'S COPYRIGHT DATE IS 1907. That's SEVEN YEARS before WWI started and not even technically 1910, and I'm sorry the 1910s are 1910 onward not before. So I feel a little like I got scammed and didn't notice till I had cut it out. I guess I'm just going to finish it, but I won't lie. I'm kind of mad about it.
