Now that I’ve set myself up over on Dreamwidth

Now that I’ve set myself up over on Dreamwidth I’m posting there more, and I can’t crosspost from there to here because I have an IfTTT set up that posts everything I post here to there, and that would make some sort of infinite mess, I think. Anyway–
Am having one of those awful ADHD days of freedom where I pick things up, wander in a circle, set the thing down, wander some more, then realize I’ve lost the thing, and then do something else, and forget what I was doing, and then wander looking for the thing, and then find it again and forget what I had picked it up for, and then wander off again, and it’s miserable and I’m accomplishing nothing.
I have to, have to get a bunch of sewing projects started for Christmas. I do! There’s a deadline and not that much time left! But. Where do I start? I need a pattern. Here’s a pattern. I need fabric. This fabric might do, if I piece it. Oh, or this. No, that. This one for A, that one for B, this one for– I wonder where I put that other– oh hey I totally forgot I had this. Look, this too! Here’s another thing. I remember this thing. I just had to iron it– there’s the iron. If I– oh but the iron’s set up for this other– yeah it was with these– yeah I’ll just. *spends an hour ironing bits of things that have nothing to do with anything*
Where was I? Oh this pattern, I was going to make– I was– yes here– where was that, now? Oh, over– oh gosh this whole area’s all rifled through, now, I’ll never find, I’d better tidy– let me just set that over– oh this, though, I forgot I had this. I’d better take everything I find and make a pile out of it on top of the other thing I was looking for. Yeah, that’s a great idea.
The laundry! Shit I forgot. Hang on, I’ll just– oh and I was baking bread, “Did my timer go off?” “Yes–” Shit, I’d better– there we go– ok now I’m baking bread.
How is it 4pm? On Sunday? Where did Saturday go?
For my efforts, I have two curtain rods I had Dude hang, a loaf of bread baked, four loads of laundry done but only two sorted, several objects moved from one place to another, and here’s the punchline:
Not a single stitch of sewing done. Nor is the pattern cut out. Nor is the fabric selected.
Granted, I’m complicating it by insisting on repurposing worn garments instead of buying new fabric, but I own enough fucking new fabric, I don’t need any more. So I do have one (1) old garment halfway seam-ripped so that I can measure whether the pattern will fit on this fabric or if I have to piece it to make that work.
