I hate cutting

[frualeydis]

It used to be that what I hated most about sewing was zig-zagging the edges. But now I have developed a kind of zen attitude to that and don't mind it so much. So what I hate most now is the cutting of the pattern pieces. It's the whole process of cleaning off the kitchen table, of thinking about if I want to change something in the pattern etc. So tonight when I finally forced myself to cut out a new blouse I cut two blouses while I was at it, and it really feels good to see all those peices, waiting for me to zig-zag them tomorrow.

It's two 1940s style cotton blouses, one with short(ish) sleeves and one with long sleeves.
