Do YOU see what's wrong?
I would be less ticked if I hadn’t broken my seam ripper last week, and forgotten to get a new one when I picked up thread this morning.

I donāt have any words right now.#merchantandmills #dressshirt is done! Though I was in a rush to get out the door so I didnāt get good pictures! It was fun to sew, but the shoulder fit is way off on meāwere I to make it again Iād be raising the underarm at least an inch. I may also hack four inches or so off the bottom once itās done being a class sample. But, a quick and surprisingly fun sew! #periwinklesewingclass #classsample #saskatoonsewsI am very doubtful about having ANY time to sew something creative between now and Saturday, but I had to take @Sewcialist ās quiz for the #sewcialistsminichallenge because how could I not?!? And my word, āfreeā is emblematic of everything Iām NOT sewing right now (when I have two tight deadlines for non-personal projects and Iām in full I DONT WANNA mode.) So I may not be sewing free, but Iāll be dreaming of it!Do you see that?!? DO YOU SEE THAT? THAT IS LIQUID WATER AT THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH!!!! #springissprung #whinycanuckstopswhining #itsmeltingitsmeltingSince Iām really enjoying the #showmeyourmachine tag from @lovetosew.podcast, hereās the rest of the āfamilyā... 1) my Elna. The weird bubble in front is the foot pedal, which gives the most amazing speed control Iāve ever had in a mechanical machine. Thereās also a speed control on the machineācranked to full speed it goes so fast you have to loosen the tension when you sew. 2) is my Pfaff 360. My mom has a version of this machine thatās still my favorite machine in the world, but mine has a bit of a dodgy tension that I havenāt managed to fix. I love the shape of the presser foot in this machine, the slender free arm, and the intuitive stitch control. 3) is the Singer āRocketeerā I inherited from my grandmother. Itās got the most ridiculously complicated stitch controls (I have to look up in the manual how to make it do a zigzag every time), but it makes great buttonholes with a vintage attachment and holds two needles so I can twin needle hems without a special needle. Which is good because I always break those. And last but not least, 4) is my Singer Featherweight. I love this machine for its neat stitch, portability, and antique cuteness. I take it to our Victorian Sewing Circle every month.Next up... #periwinklesewingclass #classsample #saskatoonsews #merchantandmills #merchantabdmillsdressshirt in some yummy Essex cotton-linen.Me on Pattern Review:

Tanit-Isis Sews · because my fingers itch…
Ok, I was almost going to give up, but I think I have it figured out. The pocket bags are at the hem?
Nope! (Although the pocket bags do stick out a little far… I trimmed them off later. I sewed both yokes on to the wrong side, so the neck curve on the yoke is on the same side as the arm-curve on the body!
Merely one of the many screw-ups I made on this project, sad to say. And I still haven’t gotten a new seam ripper. š
