~~in to the fuuuuutuuuurrreeeee.
I feel like I posted more recently than a week ago!
My hand healed up just fine, not even a blister to show for it. Three hours of water-soaking was definitely the right choice! On Sunday I was again being silly and touching dishes that had recently been in the oven, but this time I did it carefully and remembered to grab pot holders before moving it lol.
Saturday I finished the shirt, minus actually attaching the buttons. I had a complete thought vacancy and put the buttonholes on the wrong part of the button stand. So, 6 extra buttonholes. But I did it with the machine, so I'll likely leave them and just attach the buttons on top.
Then it was on to waistcoat! I drafted one from a period manual, but it was a heckin' process! I was confused about one of the measures, and finally found my answer (yesterday, well after I finished the draft), and honestly, the first version is not awful. It's far too short (I think) and tight (definitely), so I will need to revise it, but it was not bad at all.
The pattern was drafted from the same book that Bernadette Banner used a couple years ago, so I watched that video again more for an overview of how she approached it, and then I was thinking about blogging vs vlogging and realized that I don't want to do video at all. I want to write. (And that ties into my current enjoyment of writing fanfic and fandom in general.) There's a couple of things I wanted to write about that I could make videos about as they're more of a tutorial, but in general, I don't care for video content.
I joined a couple youtube-focused "support groups", which I have thoroughly ignored for weeks and months. I think it's time to admit defeat and leave them.
