Woe and Pain

[wataya]

Oh my... The panniers of doom are nearly finished. Just need to hem them.

These are the panniers for my client (for whom I'm making a Robe à la française). I've been struggling with them since January. Everything went wrong with them and it nearly disgusted me from ever ever doing panniers again. Except that I will have too. I mean : I'M A 18TH CENTURY CRAZY ADMIRER ! I just can't pass doing a pair a big panniers for me. But really. Panniers are EVOL. (I have to add that I made the pattern myself. Next time : simplicity pattern)

Well now you have the pattern, you can reuse it, or is the pattern you came up with just ivol in itself ?
And YAY to having them nearly done !!! And to sewing !

I think everything in that project is evo, but mostly boning. And you won't believe, but I sew ! I really do. Just like those 7 monthes of sewing dumbness never happened. But now, I'm worried, because remember, the measurments I took on my client were very badly taken : I cannot make a mistake with her SILK TAFFETA !! *nervous*

I hate that I can't edit my own comments *grrr* I wanted to write "evil" and end up with "evo". I'm creating my own english slang.
