Sewing Clothes - YUCK!!!!

Hi There!

Don't know if you're like me but, after a few years....

You forget "stuff" and
you absolutely HATE sewing clothes!!!!!



I think the last time that I had sewn clothes, was probably when I was in my 20's and I absolutely HATED it then!!!! What would possess me to think that I, would fall it in love with sewing clothes, now, at MY AGE?!?!?!?!?

'Cept for the fact that I had COMPLETELY forgotten how much I DESPISE sewing clothes - pull out instructions, pull out pattern pieces, iron pattern pieces, cut OUT pattern pieces, pull out fabric, find the grain of fabric and pin pattern to fabric. Once again, pull out the scissors and CUT out fabric, re-read instructions (for the 100th time), mark fabric with fabric markers for appropriate "marks", un-pin and start sewing. OH WAIT A MINUTE! You forgot to change your sewing machine needle to a different postion and HOLD THE TRAIN - you didn't buy interfacing 'cause it wasn't listed on the "requirement" list, yet it tells you to sew it!!!!!

And this is only HALF of the procedure! And, I like to say that Walmart (and others) bust their BEHINDS to sell clothes - why bother sewing them, eh?!??!

Anyhow, last year, I went to visit my sewing mentor and Aunt, to help me with this darn collar. My Aunt, who has made TONS of clothing... even made a few wedding dresses, couldn't figure this one out!

Finally, last week, one of our Longarm quilting clients, who happens to also be a seamstress, suggested what I should do with this collar and SHE AGREED that it was a ridiculous pattern - as far as collars go!

And here's the kicker - you ready for this?!?!

I'm the stupid one that OFFERED to make this, for my sister!!!!

WHAT WAS I THINKING!?!?!?!???

Anyhow, once again, pick me with a fork - I'm DONE!

Now, let's all bow our heads and mutter a few grateful words, under our breaths, and carry on with "Quilty" stuff!!!

Have a great Sunday!!!!
