Free to good home: perfection August 28, 2007
Posted by spacemom in : Ghost in the (sewing)Machine , 5 commentsI prepared the fabric for the CW (chilly Willy) pajamas. I measured the fabric and realized that I had to create my own layout of the patterns. (For those who don’t sew, every pattern comes with a layout of how to place the peices on the right sized peice of fabric to cut items out efficently.) I was cutting the front of the top out when I realized I had made a mistake. I quickly adjusted and made up for it with no damage or extra fabric used.
However, I discovered that I am nervous about this whole project. While laying out and cutting out the fabric, I thought long and hard about this.
I am afraid of screwing this up.
I am afraid these won’t fit the person intended.
I am afraid the larger Chilly Willys will land on her nipples and just look silly
I am afriad that this just won’t work out right.
I really need to ditch the perfection. I am a person who wants things perfect. Correction, I need what I do to be perfect.
And when it doesn’t come out that way, I feel like I failed.
If anyone wants to take my perfection, please, take it. Because I need to learn to let it go. Just let it go…..
