The problem with using the wrong side is that when you have limited brainpower due to migraine, you are even more likely sew it inside out Has since been fixed and now I have most of a bodice ✌️ Going to work on that migraine first and then do the sleeves and skirt

"Did you switch sewing machines and areas" Shhhhh (It's because my own machine decided that tension is for chumps and needs to go to the shop)

Sleeves fixed I need to grab some elastic from upstairs for the cuffs so I'm working on the collar instead It's a 90s anime so the sleeve puff amount is "yes"

He was pressing tiny creases out by using his little feets to put all the pressure in the world on that one spot.

Casval is not chewing on it or otherwise using it as a toy at this very moment. That seems like enough help from a cat.

When sewing sleeve elastic it is very helpful that this machine's arm is about the same circumference as my wrist lmao

I am one of those weirdos who prefers doing an invisible zipper with a regular zipper foot Someday I'll do a tutorial. Today is not that day.
