The revolution begins!

Last night we got all sweaty and stayed up WAY too late for geriatrics (3 a.m.?!) and the Boy played new video games for __ hours (Portal 2: snarky and entertaining) and I watched an entire episode of the new new newer new “Ab Fab” and covered myself in Korean blemish balms and synthetic fabrics and took 10 billion self-portraits but the IMPORTANT thing is…

pettipants primer
I made my very first pair of pettipants yesterday! For the REVOLUTION! Yyyyyeah! Actually, I made two pairs of pettipants yesterday, I had the fever.

The serger is a dreeeeeeeaaaaaam…I taught myself how to thread it, and after some initial resistance I mastered it. Pretty good, considering I have A.D.D. and am allergic to following directions, especially involving instruction manuals. This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship, Brother 1034D!

  1. Oh, I’m having serious serger envy over here. Let me know how this beauty holds up. I need to invest in one, one of these days, and I love my Brother sewing machine. Can’t wait to see all of the gor-geous things you create, dahling!
