The more you try to fix the hem, the more you will screw it up. >4. I need a surger. >5. Don't use red chalk to draw the pattern on white fabric when you >need the garb the next day. >6. If the neck hole was too little the first time, only cut a little bit >off at a time. There's no going back. I now have an off-the-shoulder >undertunic. >7. If you're trying on the garb you're sewing over and over to get the >right fit, it's easier just to sew nekkid. Someone please tell me I'm not >alone. >8. The first time you sew it together, use a big stitch. They're >easier to pull out. >9. Trying to convince yourself that no one will notice that the sleeves >are two different lengths gets easier as the night goes on. >10. They play really crappy music on the radio at 2:00 AM >11. Ignore the "Buy 1 more yard then you think you'll need" rule. >Replace it with the "Buy 7 more yards than you think you'll need" rule. >12. Get $1/yard fabric. Then you won't swear at yourself so much. >13. You can see a black bra through $1/yard white cotton. >14. You can see a white bra through $1/yard white cotton. >15. You can see you're not wearing a bra through $1/yard white cotton. >16.
