darchildre: dorothy in the ruins of oz.  text:  "beware the wheelers" (beware the wheelers!)
I spent most of yesterday handsewing - I want to make a dress but it has a lot of technique things I haven't done before since I am very much a novice (and also there are things I wanted to change about the pattern), so I'm making a muslin first to make sure everything works properly. It was very successful and now I know how to sew pleats and darts. I should be able to finish it completely this evening and then I can try the whole thing on.

However. I am now all over pinpricks and tiny cuts. It is very unpleasant, but I suppose this is what happens when you let a clumsy person do crafts that involve many many sharp objects.

I almost never injure myself while knitting. This is an advantage to yarn crafts that very few people bring up.
