Getting my sewing groove back...
Dec. 14th, 2006 10:03 pmI actually, like, sewed today. :-p
Although I didn't actually SEW, as in pulling thread through fabric with a needle. I more thought very hard and cut stuff out and ironed and frey checked.
So yeah, now that's it's officially Christmas break (insert obligatory happy dance) and I had over twelve hours of sleep last night, the first thing I did after thoroughly cleaning my room was to pull out ye olde Violet Baudelaire skirt. I got all the organza panels cut out and ironed and frey checked (frey blocked actually...silly brand names) before taking a long bath and leaving for work. And you know what? I have been keeping a little tally of all the hours I've spend on this project, and as of now I've spent 29 hours on it. This is spread over a whole YEAR. And the really sad part? 29 hours is about half the time I spend making that headdress for metals, and I did it in a week. A week! Granted, I got almost no sleep, and kind of went completely out of my mind for a while, but the point remains. If I can stay fully motivated, I ought to have no (or very little) trouble getting Violet done before the end of NaCoFiMo. And besides, it HAS been a full year now since I started the dress...
