thrilling heroics

[deird1]

Watch in awe, young sewers, for I have scaled the heights of fabric, battled the flaming monsters of unpicking, and conquered the realm of completed products!

WOOOOOO! *does excited victory lap around the house*



It probably would have been less frustrating to get things right the first time, but when you've unpicked and then unpicked again, thrown the whole thing across the room, screamed in annoyance at the one millionth mistake... it really is so satisfying to finish the damn thing.

And this? This is incredibly satisfying. :D


(The object in question is a pillowcase. A big triangular one with a ruffle along the edge - so slightly more complex than "pillowcase" would tend to mean. And really hard to actually sew from scratch.

But my big triangly pillow is finally covered and back in service! I get to sit up in bed again! Yay!)



*is terribly accomplished and oh so pleased*

*is also slightly smug*

This is my normal MO. You mean there's another way to do sewing?

Sewing from scratch doesn't take patience as much as fortitude and d**m perseverance. But it's so worth it.

SMUG is good!! Smile at your success.

Looking forward to seeing it! But I totally read that first statement as more of a ninja turtles' home kind of thing. "Young sewers..."

Hooray for a completed project!

The thought of sewing a big, weirdly-shaped and ruffly pillowcase by hand is making me think happily of my next jacket. o.0 Ruffles, argh.
