I have a problem; it's called sewing impatience. Once a garment is done I am ready to move on to the next project and ignore any further issues.
Take my latest garment. Finished on Saturday. The fit felt good while I was sewing, but when I put it on and moved the front suddently didn't feel great. Plus the back has some pooling. Fine I thought, I'll just wear it around the house or it could even be a nightshirt. Just that quick, I gave up on trying to make it fit. I didn't want to rip seams and put the thread back in the machine which already held a new color for my newest project.
I put the shirt on this hanger to sit.
Sunday morning I felt annoyed. Why was I going to relegate a well sewn
tank to sleeping just because I was impatient with a little more
re-working. The annoyance continued for several hours until I declared an end to giving in to my impatience. No more will I allow myself to ignore the fit issues on a garment that can be fixed. There are a few of these items collecting in my closet and it's time to stop this fate.
Now I have a date with this tank and my seam ripper while I watch some TV.
Pretty tank. Definitely worth fixing. Glad you are feeling better.
