Sewing Homework
2011.10.17
It sounds silly, really, “sewing homework.” I keep finding myself using it as an excuse, and then I sort of laugh to myself. It has been a long time since I’ve had any homework though, and it’s amazingly hard to carve out time in my life for it. I’m falling behind a little… I finally gave up waiting on the awesome vintage pattern I bought on eBay and I’m going with a simpler one that I already have in my possession. I’ve cut out the pattern, but I haven’t bought my fabric yet, and I need to have it purchased, pinned, cut, marked, and all ready to sew by next weekend. I may be too caught up in details for sewing. We’ll see.
