I have a love-hate relationship with sewing. It's an excellent creative outlet and allows me to alter my clothes. However, I've decided that being a good seamstress requires a certain personality : Type A. My problem is that I hate to prepare the fabric, I'd rather get straight to the fun part...the steady pulse of the needle moving...and the foot petal kind of makes me like to pretend I'm driving...ok just kidding...not really. Anyways, setting everything up is like...80% of the process, and if you don't take your time there the rest is doomed to failure. The other day, I was trying to alter a vest that I bought that was just a tiny too bit long. Let me tell you, a task that should have taken about 30 minutes turned into about 3 hours as I sewed ....didn't like it...then ripped out the seams. Repeat. Like 5+ times. So aggravating. I like being efficient. This is not efficient.
Sew, that being said:
Measure Twice (or Thrice); Cut/Sew Once
