Working on..

Simplicity 2733!

Note:  I hate patterns.  I am much more of a “work it out” kind of sewer.  This, of course, leads to a vicious cycle of making clothes: try, fail, try, fail, try, try harder, try extremely hard, throw it away.    In an effort to knock this off and actually succeed in some of the garments I sew, i’m going to be (sigh) following instructions, well, sort of.

This was a terrible pattern to start with because:

1.  It looks like its for tweens.  Seriously, project runway, sell out some more, okay?

2.  Very cute idea (shirt on the left minus the hideous sleeves) but the directions are ATROCIOUS!  It is more confusing to read these instructions than than eat soup with a slotted spoon.

3.  Apparently I bought the wrong sized pattern, we’ll see if I can work around it.

Anyway, pictures to come soon!
