I'm kinda annoyed with it, not just the amateurish sewing, but also the fact that the neckline is so low!! I should go back and fix it, if I can stand doing that part over again. Also, I can't get Rylie to stop saying "cheese", and this is what her face looks like when she says it.
So I guess the moral of the story is that I'm not done, and that my relief will be short-lived. Hopefully it won't take me too long to fix the sleeves so that they're closer together and the bodice is higher.
I kind of hate sewing. I like the idea process, but the actual work is so time-consuming and frustrating. Near the end when I was growling at my sewing machine for losing the thread again, Nathan said, "If your sewing machine is killing you, maybe you should stop using your sewing machine!"
p.s. Ok I feel like I need to explain this picture of Nathan. He wasn't upset or anything, he just thinks he's hilarious. I'll admit it - he is.

Now you know why I gave up sewing lo! these many decades ago. Nothing ever turned out right. My creative skills lie in other areas. But I think it's great that you're doing it. If you want to keep it up, maybe you could take a class. It didn't help me, but it might be useful to you.
PS Both your kids are hilarious.
I probably should take a class! I'm mostly self-taught, and don't know how to follow patterns or anything. The only reason I even know how to thread a sewing machine is because Katie showed me how to hem my pants into shorts a few years ago. I just wish I knew why my bobbin thingie kept jamming the thread. Is it me? Is it the machine? Is it Murphy's Law?
oh yeah...mine does that a lot too, but since i'm also self-taught, i don't know how to get it to stop doing that. that's why i, too, have unfinished sewing projects piled up. cute shirt, though. i think it's worth the frustration to fix it. and i'm glad i was able to teach you something, since i always feel like you're so much smarter than i am.
I totally understand how you feel about sewing. And. . .classes didn't help me much either. Oh yes and as for Nathan's comment, Richard basically said the same thing to me.
Haha! Nathan's comment made me laugh. :)
