There is something so satisfying about a pile of neatly stacked pattern pieces, all cut out and ready to sew.
Maybe it’s just me, but there’s something exciting about the first couple of stages of any sewing project. That little pile of fabric has so much potential…
Of course – as fabric sometimes has a mind of it’s own – it can also turn into something a lot more frustrating too!
But for now, let’s keep on the positive side of things. Okay, so it’s not quite ready to sew yet. It needs to be interfaced, marked and pinned.
And let’s not forget reading the instructions too…
The pattern companies include those instructions for a reason – they can be very useful. How exactly do all those funny markings on the tissue paper fit together? The instructions should at least point you in the right direction.
And have I mentioned how exciting it is to actually have a cutting table set up again?
