The original plan was to do the finish work on the men's pants and then maybe start on my KS 3338 t-shirt for the Wardrobe Contest, but when I got in the workroom, the pants stayed on the table and the Wardrobe took over.
I did the entire KS 3338 t-shirt in one sitting. Nothing went wrong: no hems got sucked down into the machine, the narrow zig-zag worked perfectly, the topstitching came out even. The sewing gods were either smiling or not paying attention. I was so happy with the result that I picked up the KS 2694 faux wrap top that I had put aside and decided to fix what was wrong with it. Turns out not much was actually wrong. I had put a modesty panel in the front and when I tried it on before it was had a ripple on one side of the neckline. It must have been one of those other nights because I put the top down almost a month ago and haven't touched it since, and I've been wondering what I can make as a replacement for it. It had a ripple. Big deal. I picked out about 2" worth of stitches, resewed them, and it was fine. For that I've been worrying?
I was so energized by all that productivity that I decided to post my reviews and edit the master review for the Wardrobe before I went to bed. Then I tried to sleep but couldn't, so I sat up and read Kathleen Fasanella's book which came in the mail yesterday until it was way too late. Today I'm more than a little sleepy, but it's worth it.
