Just Sew It

The last two evenings I have been working feverishly to finish two Choli tops and it has been hell. Nothing is working very good. I have had serger problems, fitting problems, and fabric problems. I will never make any garment for anyone unless I have a commercial pattern. I copied a blouse she had made previously by someone else. Also, one of the tops is made out of lining fabric. I was leary of that fabric when she presented it to me. I have put lining into clothing before but to make a top out of it?!!! That process did not copy the original very well. I have spent so much time on this that it is not worth my time to sew for people. I feel so bad that this has not turned out very well. The sleeve is tight under the armpit and there is nothing I can do to take it out. I should have taken this to my dh’s aunt. She is a seamstress for a living and does wonderful work. Argggggggggggggggggh!! What a nightmare!!!!! I just want to see these tops go out the door as soon as possible. I want to sew for fun!!
