why is so much of sewing just tracing and cutting and tracing again q_q i see why people get projectors and use adobe illustrator now
#drawing up a design that i can easily pattern from my sloper: 😊
#actually having to make the pattern by tracing and cutting ad infinitum: 😰
#piecing together printer paper to get a big enough sheet of paper and doing this ten million times: 🥲😭
#not to mention the IRONING.... prewashing the fabric and having to iron 8 yards of fabric???? excuse me????
#and then distorting it as i iron bc it has a slight stretch and i got so tired i stopped being careful 2 yards in
#and the way that you're supposed to press every seam... excuse me... am i just supposed to have my iron heated and on standby at all times
#AND THE STEAM??? i just got stay tape the other day and thought it'd be a neat alternative to stay stitching
#BUT IT NEEDS STEAM TO ACTIVATE (which okay makes sense) BUT long story short i'm too afraid to use the steam function
#on my iron because none of us are sure if water should go back into a tank that's been in disuse for 30+ years
#so instead i get this water spray pen and delicately spray down the length of each piece of stay tape
#before i cover it with a piece of gauze and iron it. and then i have to iron it extra so all the water actually evaporates
#oh and the spray pen holds as much water as half a pen so i have to walk to the kitchen every 10 sprays to refill it
#and i have to do this for every curved edge on my pattern pieces
#i mean the alternative is just stay stitching but then i would have to calibrate my settings for a single layer of fabric instead of double
#which means i have to switch my needle out more and i'm still new enough that sometimes i install a needles wrong despite going through
#all the same exact motions that i usually would. i'm LITERALLY suffering out here. anyway can't wait to sew or whatever
#oh and did i mention i went to a sewing meetup recently? yeah...
#everyone there bought like $30-$100/yard fabric and i was there awkwardly knowing i only buy like $12/yard fabric
#honestly though i have the opposite problem people usually joke about. i find it So hard to find fabric i actually like
#it needs to be the right fiber + right color + right pattern/texture + right weight + i have to know exactly what i'm going to make with it
