It’s Crockett Science

1. Brett knows more about sewing than I do. He’ll probably be annoyed I told everyone but he has quite the mad set of sewing machine skills. I couldn’t even thread the needle without him! And he really loves to rub it in my face.

2. I am SO in over my head. I spent two hours in the store and walked out with no thread. THREAD! How do you sew without thread? I cut out the pattern wrong and had to tape it all back together. I didn’t buy enough fabric and had to go back to the store. Then there was the whole threading the needle thing that we’ll pretend didn’t happen. And then I think I spent more time unpicking my stitches than actually making the stitches to begin with. I have a whole gaggle of stuff to learn and a whole lot more unpicking in my future I’m afraid. I think the pillow I tried turned out pretty good for my first time on a machine in a decade but that’s only cause you can’t see my uneven seams. On to the next project…

And if you’re interested you should really check out the graphic fabric prints by Amy Butler. They fill me with some very whimsical daydreams of projects that are so out of my comfort level.
