I am an Unseamly Seamstress

Here's a picture of the latest project that's been driving me to drink keeping me up late. Sorry it's not a great picture, but it doesn't really matter because....
well.

Let me introduce you to the Pocket from Purgatory. Yes, that be it's name. I could think of worse, but I've been trying to keep a lid on my potty mouth since I had children. Check out that smooth, even sewing and the nice, rounded circle. Not.

Did you think that was all? You're so silly! Here's a shot of the buttonhole, through which I was planning to thread a drawstring before I changed my mind and ran to the nearest JoAnn for elastic. Question to self: Why did you think you'd like to have a drawstring waist on this skirt when, in reality, you hate drawstring waists because they are not flattering on you? Why?

And that, you ask? Why, that's a little rip in the fabric caused by Sassy SeamRipper when she was crabbin' and complainin' about being used and abused and taken for granted by me. I know you're supposed to respect the Ripper (not loathe it), but right now Sassy's in the doghouse.
For the record, I'm gonna finish the hem on this baby and wear the heck out of it because this skirt ain't the boss of me!

Hilarious! I need to post my latest flop. It's really, really annoying. And I had a feeling we shared a potty mouth in common. I've had to control myself since I started teaching. My Mom taught me to curse. So I think my kids will be okay. As long as we can convince them NOT TO SWEAR IN SCHOOL. (I'm joking of course. we do try to control ourselves in their presence.)

Hey, the skirt is cute anyway.
