Keep calm

The skirt I'm making is slowly transforming from pieces of fabric into something wearable. The only thing left to fix, is the dreaded hem. I decided to blind stitch it using my Singer and let me tell you, it's a nightmare. I've never done blind stitching before, but when done correctly it looks really great. It's just not working for me. Learning from my many sewing mistakes (just go for it! don't measure! who needs pins? ironing is boring!), I've been test stitching on several scraps of fabric but when trying to stitch the real deal, it's a completely different matter. In moments like these, I really miss my mum. She's truly a wizard with all things hand made and crafted. Me and my older brothers used to wear the stuff she made as kids - this was the 70's/80's and velour was hot hot HOT I tell you. Anyways. If she was here right now, I'm sure she would've adjusted her glasses, taken a deep breath and just fixed it. Oh mothers. They're pretty great.
