Well, I have spent the best part of the past two days in tutu hell. At midnight last night I sat down to knit 2 rows of the shawl, simply because I hadn’t knit a stitch all day. This is what it is like trying to get the damn thing under the sewing machine.

\nOn Thursday night I made a bodice from scrap fabric. Yesterday morning, I tried it on Em, and made all the necessary adjustments, then for the best part of yesteray and last night, I made the real bodice and basque, then pinned the basque to the skirt.
\nThis morning I sat down and tried to sew the basque to the skirt by machine.
\nI swore, I threw a tantrum, I kicked the tutu across the room. The piece of shit would not<\/strong> go under the machine foot. There was simply too much fabric. The feed dog was jamming, and the fabric wouldn’t feed properly. Then the machine wouldn’t run. I found out that was because Twinkie has chewed her way through this stinking cord as well. This is the second sewing machine cord she has massacred. However, I just taped it up and went on. But I had to give it up. It simply would not go under the machine.
\nSo I hand sewed it.
\nYes, I hand sewed the entire basque to the skirt. It took three hours. But it’s done.

\nWell, the worst parts are done. It still needs to be flattened (also by hand) and decorated. (Yep, by hand).
\nBut no more wrestling fabric under the machine. My arms are aching from holding it all out of the way and constantly reaching over it.
\nIn not-so-breaking news, Twinkie has a fat face.

\nMarti<\/a> sent me a lovely gift, which arrived yesterday, pics tomorrow.
\nI’m not finishing the tutu tonight. In fact I don’t think I want to look at it again for at least a week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
