As you probably already know, I like to sew. Although I've only made one dress from scratch before, I really like to alter clothes, usually ones I already have. Having said this, the only experience I have with a sewing pattern is in making that one dress, when I was 15. Well here we are, a handful of years later and for Christmas my aunt gave me a book of sewing projects that came with a little envelope with all the necessary patterns. I didn't really think about it until I actually took the patterns out of the envelope and unfolded them...and might I say, I think I've found a brand new hatred.
For starters, I'm only 21 years old and my vision is fine, but I can't see a damn thing I'm trying to cut out. The paper might as well rip into 37 pieces if I blow on it. It rips when I pin it for more than one cut. It just rips. I lose pieces if I move any fabric at all in the surrounding area because literally, a hurricane might as well have just torn through the room. Once there is a crease, there is always a crease.
And all of these things really suck because there are a lot of cute things to do in that book of projects and I want to do all of them. Maybe I'm just not gentle enough to use patterns...but seriously I better work on my gracefulness or I am no doubt going to punch someone in the jugular over patterns.
Here is the book if you want to check it out. I have no affiliation with the book aside from owning a copy and in having said all of these things about patterns, I have nothing against the book and their projects. I have just developed a universal hatred of pattern paper.
