what have i done to deserve this? i mean... i'm a good person... i pay my taxes. i don't talk ill of the dead. i only tell the good kind of lies... sure there's that affection for astrology and crystals - but that's mostly all a joke...
perhaps this seems a bit overly dramatic. let me explain. i'm working on another pair of jeans. a white pair. in all respects this pair is exactly the same as the last pair except that they're white. but i tell you this now... not a single step in sewing this pair has gone right! i sewed the fly closed - twice (i was even following my own stinking tutorial!) i've broken or bent three - three twin needles (the first one i threw away in a fit of rage so the evidence does not exist to show you) i managed to get the fabric sucked down so far into the feed dogs i literally had to take apart my machine to get it out. there was this moment where my ironing board decided to collapse on me and i did this really weird slow dance with it to prevent the hot iron falling and burning me half to death. even when i decided i needed to take a break and eat some lunch i totally lost my shit on a container of arugula. pms much....
anyway... if these jeans make it to the other side unscathed - we'll both be different people (or... umm... pants...)
so, you know, just in case you thought it was only you that had totally bizarro accidents happen to you while sewing...its not...

update: i just sewed the back yoke's on backwards. i am officially done for the day.
