Oh woe is me...

I am trying to make a jacket. I don't usually sew clothes, I'm pretty sure that the last time I did was 5 years ago when I made my daughter's prom dress. I didn't pick the easiest fabric to work with ... a silky print with little stones glued all over it. I am having to scrape the stones off the seam allowance - what a PIA!!!! But it's going together slowly but surely. I have the sleeves left to set in and then hem, hem, hem. Phew. Now you know one reason I've been so quiet. I'm pulling my hair out, ha ha ha.
