green_marthaIn the brain : I wanted to unpick the lower part of the weird side-dart on Provence's underbodice, and unpicked a front dart instead.
In the scanner : sometimes when I click on "scan" nothing happens, sometimes it scans another area of the document. And it makes weird noises à la "I'm gonna autodestruct in three... two... one... DANG !"
In the fabric : what, you mean the two fabric parts were not overlapping here ? So I only cut out one sleeve ? Whoops !
In the sleeves : NONE ! I think the end of the world must be near, or I've stepped into another dimension, I dunno. I cut out the sleeves straight from the pattern, pinned them together, sewed them, inserted them, et voilà ! They work ! o_O All my costumer instincts tell me this CAN'T happen. Sleeves just don't WORK the first time around. Sleeves are a nightmare to fit, sew together, and insert. And that's not counting the two or three times you have to unpick them and put them back in because you've put them on backwards, or you've mixed up right and left sleeve, or you've got two left sleeves and no right one. This is just NOT NORMAL. There must be a disaster looming somewhere for me to explain the illogical good sleeve karma.
Today started in a lazy, demotivated sort of way, combined with a bad headache. But in the end it turned out to be pretty productive. I now have a passable first mock-up for Provence's underbodice :
And I've put up yet another magazine. La Mode Illustrée from the 4th of May 1919 is now online too, enjoy !
