Just a bad seamstress

The costume party I talked about the other day is this Friday and as I am such a procrastinator, I only started doing mys vest today.

I finished the construction part and noticed a bit of excess fabric below my armpits. When I went to show it to my mother, she almost fell off the chair with laughter. Apparently, I changed the front right and the front left by mistake, and ended up sewing the part that’s supposed to have buttons and buttonholes to the back part of the thing. =p

There are also other things to show how bad a seamstress I am. I just cannot make the pattern match when I put all parts of the piece together and the insides look terrible because I had a problem with the lining. Anyways, now that I corrected the biggest mistake, it looks quite cute. I’ll show it ready as soon as I hem the whole thing.

Surto de projetos

Então que eu ando razoavelmente produtiva nos tricôs e crochês da vida. Finalmente, já que a fila de espera no Ravelry só aumentava, aumentava e eu não tomava uma atitude a respeito. Aí, deu um ‘cinco-minutos’ e eu destampei a fazer cowls, cachecóis, wristwarmers e tiarinhas fofas. Agora, preciso de outro surto desses para fazer o upload das fotos pro Flickr e pra lá.

Enquanto isso não acontece, eu fico tresloucada procurando mais e mais projetos pra fazer (e isso que eu continuo fazendo os mais básicos, um atrás do outro). O próximo é a Gilmore Vest, que eu achei via Ravelry. Me parece bem fácil de fazer e eu tô super querendo uma blusitcha assim para fazer composições!
