13/07/2015: Sewing, endless sewing.

I’ve started with the sewing projects I want to do this summer. I mainly want to do a structurally sound blouse, and in general, I want to make some clothes that are just as good (and better looking/custom size) as those that are bought. This means ironing to press seams, which I am bad at. But slowly but steadily things are coming along, and every smaal projects has learning moments, so that is nice. It just means my room is a mess with piles of fabric, patterns everywhere, an ironing board and cats hopping in-between and through all of this with destructive glee. Apparently the more delicate the tissue paper, the more fun it is to roll on top of it or bite through it. I have found wads of balled up pattern paper downstairs in the cardboard box they use as home base, and them growling in defence when another cat gets close or I try to clean it up (because I think it might be harmful for them to eat it, and while they spit out most of it, I think they do actually eat some of the bits of the paper).
