TODAY I SEW YESTERDAY I SEWED



So for my big 23rd year of life I got myself a sewing machine and oh no it wasn't a singer, not this time. I got myself an Elna 2800 - it sounds robocop-y I know- and like a child frolicking in springtime not knowing there are snakes in the grass I grabbed a pattern and went at it. Underwear ! I thought had to be the easiest thing to start with right? One little patch of cloth and elastic and some threads - how could you go wrong? But oh how every wrong I was . . .




I call it nautical candy cane striped underpinnings of the ruined world.
Shoddy craftsmanship, horrible lines, way too tight and bunched elastic. i love it!
