Contemplating Enlightenment

The online sewing community has lots of themed months to keep themselves going. Stuff like "Me Made May" or "Sew Indie September." For myself, I've decided that rather than sewing from independent pattern companies, September is Sewing For Squiddle month. Thus far, he's got three pairs of pyjamas out of it, and I'm now working on a new dust ruffle for his bed. Because the one that came with the cute monster-themed bedset was good when he was an infant, but is way too long now that his crib's been lowered.

It should have been an easy project. I have a cute dinosaur print fabric that proved to be too stiff for pyjamas, and it's all mathematical. Simple, right?

Except for the part where neither of my ruffling feet will work on my Singer 15.

ARGGGGGGHHHHHH.

So here I sit, listening to the sprinkles on the patio roof, endlessly pinning pleats in along two 52" sides and two 28" sides.

Patience is a virtue, I am told....
