Glargh! I am currently experiencing extreme irritation on many levels. My uni timetable is ultra annoying for the next semester - unavoidable clashes. On the sewing front I decided to make a wearable toile of a McCall's shirtwaist dress and I thought okay I'll do a quick little measure up - made the 20 D top and then lengthened it 3cms through the side bust dart because there was no way that front length was sufficient I was somewhat distracted while I was doing this (probably watching Dangermouse or Doctor Who) and forgot to lengthen the button bands and have been doing some really ugly attempts at easing to make that mother fit. This of course is kind of working against my lengthening the thing in the first place. Grah I say. Grah! There is some very ugly stitching on the button band and the waistband and you know what? I don't care. I don't care I tells you!
Yes. I have lost the plot. Oh well.
Today's plan. Read some texts in Italian to practise. Do some French exercises and memorisation. Finish dress. Finish hem and buttons on another shirt that has been sitting around for a while. Clean bedroom. Oh, also walk down to the Victoria Markets and buy a cauliflower and sweet potato to make a curry.
