Great sewing list
This was written by Aranel on the Sense and Sensibility site
In an argument between the needle and your finger, the needle
always wins.
~
When tempted to toss the sewing machine through the
window, don't. It always gets the last laugh when you take it
into the shop and pay to replace the glass.
~
When you have a deadline, everything that can go wrong, will
go wrong. Six times.
~
The seamripper is our friend. Especially when we want to jam
it into something.
~
Sewing implements make great torture tools. Just ask the
pitiful fabric scraps huddling in terror in my stash.
~
Our skin is NOT needle/pin/scissor/seamripper proof.
Contrary to popular belief.
~
Everything in its place and a place for everything.
Does it count when everything is everywhere?
~
It's not a good project until it looks like the fabric monster
sneezed in your workroom.
It's not a great project until it looks like the fabric monster
sneezed in your house.
~
When in doubt, you might as well start over, because you've
likely messed up ten times already.
~
Coffee is our friend. However, coffee and fabric are NOT.
~
If you can eat it and make a mess, you're bound to crave it
while working on something.
~
Sewing + sleepy = Frankenstein's Monster
~
I am a grouch in the morning. I am a grouch when working.
Enter the workroom in the morning at your own peril.
Enter the workroom...ever... at your own peril.
~
If you drop a needle, you will find it. With your foot.
~
Say it with me. The iron is hot...
~
When using a water soluble pen on fabric, it's a halfway smart
idea not to use the steam setting on the iron afterward...
~
Creativity is a two edged sword. You know, the kind you can
wedge between two rocks and fall on?
~
Your dummy is NOT an oversized voodoo doll.
Although...
~
Repetition is a good thing.
~
Repetition is... Who am I kidding?
Repetition is for the birds.
~
There's always room for error.
The trick is leaving room to get it right.
~
When you can't do nuthin right, don't do nuthin at all.
Take a break!
~
It's always best to take time to smell the roses.
Doing so while in a straight jacket is ever so much better.
~
Relax, have fun. You wouldn't be doing this unless you
wanted to. Right? Right!?!
~
Never stop learning and always be able to laugh at your
mistakes.
Everyone else is...
