I got started on the new sewing project (skirt o giant pockets). So far this has been 90% setup, a bit of cutting out, and 4 (count them!) short seams to test which size I should do. Did I say 90% setup? More like 98% lol. I am currently swearing at the proposed cutting layout.
I made some comments in the Sewing reddit - one well-thought-out and cogent rant about how terrible the major sewing pattern brands are (2 upvotes) and one throwaway comment about a critical Wisdom fail (1200+ upvotes). Le sigh.
Meanwhile, do I take my own advice? Of course not. I'm using a BurdaStyle pattern for the skirt, and the instructions can charitably be described as minimal. At least they're not physically impossible.
