I cut out 2 entire panels for the skirt prototype. I quickly determined I am having one of those weeks where I should not be allowed near sharp objects. I don't think I mutilated the paper pattern (much) but I'm scared to look.
So instead I got out the Pusheen cross-stitch kit and am working on a second Pusheen. It's going much better with a proper tapestry needle and a needle threader. In addition to using blunt needles(*), cross stitch also has the wonderful feature that when you screw up, you can unpick the stitches and do it over and no one will ever know.
(*) It's very difficult to draw blood with a tapestry needle. But not impossible.
