I was up late working on my Yuujiro costume and needed a break from sewing on snaps. I really hate sewing on snaps because it is just so tedious. Most of the time it goes slowly because on at least one side I need to take care to hide the back side stitches. Uggh! So I began to think of something else to work on, something simple.
I ended up working on the petticoat. I had thought that I would skip this until next week, saving it for Youmacon. But it seemed straight forward enough, and I really wanted to work with the lace I’d bought. It was while I was working on this, to the sound of the second showing of Futurama, that my wife came in, tired and a bit unhappy about some work she was doing. I wasn’t sure she’d appreciate witnessing my less than serious pursuits, given that she was working on serious stuff. But much to my surprise, she seemed to really like what I was working on, and thought the lace was very nice!
I only got the lace border gathered and pinned before I had to stop for my nightly exercise routine before going to bed. But I really appreciated her comments and can’t wait to get back to work tonight, hopefully to finish it all up.
