Sewing completely frustrates me, which is why I stopped 5 years ago. I really wanted to try again, so I bought a bunch of fabric, got a sewing machine and a dress form.
This time around I was really trying hard to be patient and not rush it. And although I’m finding it less frustrated this time around, I’m still sort of stuck. I always manage to try to make something and reach a point where I feel completely lost.
I am currently making an asymmetrical skirt. I finished almost all of it: it is sewn together, the waist band is on it, and all I have to do is hem it. But since it is asymmetrical, the inside seams show and I need to cover them. I bought faux leather trim to cover the insides, but I could neither cut them completely straight nor sew them on straight. So after spending about an hour attaching it, I hated the result and ripped it all off. I bought liner fabric and now have to wait for it to come, which in itself is frustrating because I want to finish this damn skirt.
The game plan now is to make a liner and sew the bottoms together so that none of the seems show. Grrrr. I want to move on to other projects. 4 months ago
