dragonlady7I'm using this tutorial about hand-sewing unlined pojagi to connect two nice straight-grain chunks of an old bedsheet for another maybe fabric giftwrap. Like a dumbass I'm using metallic thread, but it's going surprisingly well besides that. I'm semi-documenting my progress on my instagram stories, but not in any meaningful way.
When I say it's "going well" I mean it's going to take me two hours to do something that would be about thirty seconds on a sewing machine, but it is infinitely more satisfying and also I can do it at work, instead of not at all, so. I doubt anyone will appreciate that it was hand-sewn.
Last night we went out to Michael's and bought RIT Dye Remover so I can try to make a little indigo vat, and while we were there I got sewing machine needles. I'll try a new needle in my machine and see if I can get it to stop pitching holy fits every thirty seconds, but I'm not holding my breath. Still. This weekend's activities won't involve psyching myself up to go to the Retail Hell area of the boulevard, so that's all much more likely to happen now. While we were out, we got sushi for dinner, since banjo lessons were cancelled, and we accidentally ordered All Of The Sushi, with sashimi. Guiltily, I realize I love sashimi, and Dude doesn't really like it, so. We only get it by accident. Because I'm not going to get it if he doesn't want any. But. Anyhow...
IDK how it's already Friday. I need to spend this weekend wrapping gifts so I can figure out who I forgot to buy for, and then mail the ones that need mailing on Monday.
