I have a strong maker's remorse about this dress. Fabric combination doesn't look that good; I made a dress length instead of a tunic and it looks way more nightgown-y, I tried to add a big button but it looks even worse with it. Plus all the inconvenience described in the previous post, stripes and bad projector files.
On the other hand, she put it on without complaints, plays at the kids amusement centre and looks happy. #sewing #ProjectorSewing

The next time I decide to 'just make a rather quick dress for my kid, something familiar', remind me not to choose stripes.
Also remind me to pick a pattern with a good projector file, without 'cut on fold' pieces.
I found that even if I fully decide to ignore stripes matching (doing that while cutting on fold is just plain painful), I still matched them all while sewing because I just couldn't make myself let it go. #sewing #projectorSewing

I am dabbling in #projectorsewing, which _theoretically_ will let me project pattern pieces directly on the fabric to be cut.

There's a lot of fiddling with zoom levels in Preview to get a PDF to project at the right size, but it's not as bad as I had feared!

I'm of two minds about special occasions sewing. It's far from #SlowFashion: worn too little, a lot of effort, always with a tight deadline (ok, that's on me). Often fabrics unpleasant to the touch, hate most chiffons etc. But then #sewing this festive knit was pure joy, and cutting it, so sparkly under my projector light, was joyous too. And I'm glad I had a few hours of light and could cut and sew the leggings for my kid to wear at kindergarten play tomorrow. #ProjectorSewing #KyivPowerCut
