Just Create - Oops Edition

I forgot it was Saturday somehow, but here we are.

What have you gotten done? How are you doing? What are your plans?

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.

I hope the skirt turns out cute and pocket-ful, despite its humble and terse beginnings on paper.

Thanks! In an effort to return balance to the universe, I've stopped cursing at the suggested layout and started cursing at the fabric for not being quite wide enough for me to optimize the layout I want. And cursing at my cutting table for being surrounded by clutter. How dare it!

I'm once again using celestial-themed calico for the mockup, so the "fabric of the universe" jokes are flowing freely.

Because being a nerd is awesome!

I think all craft space breeds clutter. It can’t possibly be any one person’s fault if they’re all like that, that’s just logic!
