#did I mention my stupid father went to Victoria yesterday to buy a boat

[mctreeleth]

Okay, time to get completely overwhelmed by the paralysing indecision of 

do I waste 3 metres of cheap shitty fabric and hours of effort on a muslin just to check the sizing, in the knowledge that I will never be bothered to go back and finish it properly and it will just be thrown out

or 

do I risk 3 metres of good fabric and even more hours of effort making something that might not end up fitting me 

and then end up scrolling the internet for 6 hours instead of doing any sewing at all.

(not to mention: Do I do it using the techniques in the pattern, that they probably chose for a reason, or do I just do things the easy simplified ways I have worked out? Should I at least try out these techniques, if it is a muslin I am going to turf anyway? But then I am putting in all this effort for these complicated techniques, wouldn’t it be better if it was worthwhile? Why are there so many ways to do a placket anyway? What if instead I just made my fourth pair of perfect tights for the week? My pile of stretch knit offcuts from them is getting pretty big. I should work out some sort of project for them. Can you make a quilt with stretch? God that must be horrible. Okay maybe I will lay off the tights. I am going to go watch reels on instagram until the sun rises tomorrow.)
