this is the right hand panel of my swing jacket. the left hand panel is finished. i have another hour or two of work on this panel and then it’s done. then i just have to do the sleeves and piece the thing together.
oh, and figure out buttonholes and buy buttons. i am really bad with buttons. i am making this thing for my baby sister for hanukkah that has 48 buttons, and i am just absolutely clueless about how to sew them on and position them and all that shit. i was thinking about giving up, but then i remembered that giving up means giving up, and the point is to try it and be challenged, and if it doesn’t come out right, who gives a crap? certainly she will not, and certainly i will just go on to do something else with buttons and do it properly that time.
i have a headache, and also? also my feet are cold. i realized today that i own literally four long-sleeved shirts and two pairs of pants that hardly fit anymore. four shirts and two pants. that’s not a lot for winter. i also don’t really have any socks. if i am this cold now, how cold am i going to be in, like, january? well, i guess that means i have to go shopping. but this time i am not shopping at fucking target. i am going to buy some clothes that fit, not just clothes that fit well enough. i don’t care that i will have to spend a little money. it’s worth it to be comfortable.
and also? my feet are cold.
