Text of the page (random words):
pockets i read the pocket notes i could find did a bit of online searching created a pocket pattern piece and was ready to sew the pockets wow i thought this is going great only because i m very thorough i decided to look at the too small skirt just to confirm my plan for the pockets well how dee do i stitched the seams of the too small skirt with 1 2 seams instead of the 3 8 seams called for in the pattern instructions mystery solved so that s why the skirt was too small think that 1 8 of an inch the difference between the instructions and what i did doesn t matter read on 1 8 x 14 the number of panel sides 7 panels x 2 sides per panel 1 75 so i sewed the skirt almost 2 narrower than i should have there went the wearing ease for my current skirt i had added 1 4 to each panel side 1 4 x 14 the number of panel sides 7 panels x 2 sides per panel 3 5 this would give me plenty of ease actually a bit more than i needed but i decided that i didn t want to fiddle with adding less than 1 4 per side too much work so when you correct the seam allowance error 1 75 the newest skirt allowance 3 5 the total is now 5 25 of wearing ease too much which i confirmed by pinning the remaining seams and trying it on so now my plan is to stitch these seams 7 8 which will reduce the overall width by 2 i will then add the pockets then trim the seam allowance in other words the newest skirt will have 3 25 wearing ease which is very close to the wearing ease of the previous skirt if i had sewn 3 8 seams instead of the 1 2 seams that i sewed these 4 panels will be a bit narrower than the other 5 but i am currently striving for something that is wearable anyway see what i mean about failure on june 29 i wrote near the end of the post failure means i m learning growing improving alive doing something living a life lesson learned double maybe triple check the instructions and previous versions of the same project i ll leave perfection for others what s that saying perfection is the enemy of the good perfection is the enemy of done perfection is the enemy of completing a garment sewing project that is wearable my adaptation which i just might have to print and frame in my sewing room ha ha posting about my failures instead of only the successes is certainly giving me more to talk about blessings and peace posted by sandra at 2 11 pm 6 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels perfection sew sewing skirt saturday july 5 2014 seven gore flared skirt progress i ve been working a bit here and there on a seven gore flared skirt it s a pattern i ve used several times changing the number of gores how flared it is at the bottom and the length here s the front three panels stitched and topstitched i am intentionally not matching prints next i ll work on the pockets my brain has a hard time with these especially when i m not following a pattern that means i m done sewing for tonight did someone say pattern weights here s my largest pattern weight on another topic we went to a brad paisley concert the other evening and as usual i worked myself into a state of anxiety before we even got there i get lost so easily i m definitely not the person to be responsible for getting us anywhere oh and i always think for a moment when looking at a map or even in conversation that east is on the left and west is on the right i actually have to correct myself every time can you even imagine how many times in my life i ve done this i ve always attributed this ahem endearing quality to my being left handed in a right handed world anyway i always feel anxious when we go someplace new or that i haven t been to in a while or when we re taking a different route add going into a huge parking lot knowing that it will be dark when it s time to leave how ever will we find our car my husband who drove doesn t worry about this one single bit i don t understand sometimes i wonder whether it s because we moved a lot when i was a kid or because i don t know where i lived for my first four years maybe we re born with an internal gps and i lost mine somewhere along the way i ve tried a lot of strategies to lessen my getting lost anxiety but i haven t found one that works for me i tell myself look you ve gotten this far sure you ve gotten temporarily lost who hasn t you ll be fine get a grip we re going to another concert tomorrow evening but thankfully it s close by and at a location i know very well and the parking lot well you just have to remember whether you ve parked on the grass or the road blessings and peace

with my new mantra about failure i m all energized to sew again here s a set of three zippered cases i made last week for a friend s birthday using the same pattern as for the ones i made last fall i posted about it so feel free to look back for details and pattern information the smallest is about 4 or 4 5 inches wide and the largest is about 8 inches wide my failure other than having to undo and redo various steps because i wasn t paying close enough attention was that i have no idea how to take photos of vinyl if you know how please don t keep it a secret i still have quite a bit of this vinyl with ladybugs on it so i ll keep making them next up will be a 5 or 7 gored skirt i tried to make one with inseam pockets but it was not wearable because i didn t allow for the pulling the pockets open that would occur that pulling emphasizes my tummy oh no i don t know quite how to overcome that so this next skirt will be with or without pockets blessings and peace posted by sandra at

ve had to remove a few but it s just another time sink and now for what s on my mind today failure is not an option i m a failure as a blogger how did i get sucked into this belief i ve been pondering my lack of blog posts i ve written about a hundred posts in my mind only these past months have been a season of changes for me i m still immersed in some of them how much do you like change me not as much as i thought lately i ve been pondering this failure is not an option idea i want to understand it a few of the opposite beliefs we ve all heard read them fall down seven times get up eight try try try again we learn more from our failures than our successes a million more going back way back my first memory of school i remember it as clearly as if it were last week i was in second grade the teacher was writing words on the blackboard and asking the class to read them out loud i was already pretty good with words so i raised my hand and read antique pronouncing it as an tee cue of course the teacher corrected me an teek i felt mortified my face was beet red tears filled my eyes i wanted to disappear really disappear that s a pretty strong reaction isn t it strong enough that i remember it more than 50 years later i don t know which is the failure the misplaced confidence in my ability to pronounce a word or that my mistake had such a strong effect on me anyway maybe my fearing failure avoiding failure goes back that far maybe not so today is the day that i m going to turn this one upside down failure is great failure is a gift failure is a blessing in fact i welcome it failure means i m learning growing improving alive doing something living a life so there failure come on over i ve got room for you right here blessings and peace posted by sandra at 2 22 pm 4

there s something about maxwell maxwell was born in hickory north carolina on march 17 2000 which means that he was 14 years old yesterday he is a british shorthair and he looked like this when he was

over again until i checked it out to what turned out to be an electrical problem in a wall which prompted louie to turn off the power until he louie opened the wall and discovered some overheating wiring if maxwell hadn t alerted us to it we would have gone to bed and it s likely that a fire would have started and been well under way by the time a smoke detector would have sounded the alarm
