robinsnestI was supposed to spend today finishing ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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.
