Inch by Inch

So, if Belinda is McSewing over on her new blog, then that's me in the photo above. ;-)

But I did get the dress pattern traced and hopefully I'll be cutting the muslin tomorrow. Before I could start tracing, however, I had to reassemble the pattern sheet. It seems the folding machine at the printhouse was a little hungry the day they were getting my magazine ready.

Do you see that vertical black "line" down the pattern sheet in the pic below? That's a slice taken out. Not an even slice where the edges would easily abut, mind you, but a more radical slice which required getting the sheet as flat as possible and taping together the "air" in between the pieces. I couldn't press the sheets flat because that would rip them even further.


I remember someone talking on one of the message boards about a similar problem, but I don't remember if they were talking about this WOF Plus issue or another one. It wasn't a big deal really, but still an annoyance when you're already pressed for time. Oh well. It's over and done with now.



Also on the list for tomorrow? Taping and mudding the dining room drywall repairs from last year. Yeeee hah!
