Sewing, mostly

[kate_schaefer]

I set a fine little cargo pocket on the left sleeve of the jacket I'm making -- I love pockets on sleeves, though I almost never put anything into them -- and then utterly botched setting the sleeve itself. Ripped out the mistake and set the whole thing aside until tomorrow; once I start making mistakes, it's time to do something else.

Like most of the people I follow on LJ, I don't post here very often. I haven't fled to Facebook; I just don't post often.

That is part of why it is delightful when you do post. Hello! I'm glad you're sewing, sorry about the sleeve. I am thinking of hauling my sewing machine upstairs once I find a proper table for it. It's been far too long and I might as well relearn two old skills as one.

Thanks! The sleeve is now nicely set and awaiting its companion on the other side.

Yeah, a proper sewing table makes a big difference. In my youth, I used a card table, but a) the machine made it shake, and b) I am way too old and structurally unstable to sew at the wrong height now.

The great thing about sewing is that when you're done with the process, you have a Thing. It might even look good and fit well.
