This post is a bit of a whine! Don't read further if that disgusts you. You've been warned.
What this weekend was SUPPOSED to be was one where four of us got together and measured each other and made up pant patterns using Connie Crawford's measurement methods to draft the patterns. What it turned out to be was one where I got to sew very little and had to work at my job stuff most of the weekend. Bummer!
Turns out Maggie has a bulging back disc. She has to lie down flat until she sees the doctor next week. Sorry my friend. Turns out Jane's son was in the hospital. She couldn't come. My sister is just learning so she isn't much help with measuring and making patterns yet. I can't measure myself, and at least half the point was to get to work together to do this. Bummer!
So what did I do instead? Real office work. I will probably appreciate it next week when I am a little ahead of the game, but there's still a big pile on my desk and it just seems endless. Bummer!
I did sew a little to give myself a reward for working. Got the binding on some Halloween place mats and put rolled hems on six napkins. It wasn't my new pants pattern, though. Bummer!
