Problems, problems, self-induced #sewingPersonProblems.
I've done the last machine seam on the flannel shirt¹, but I want to use the same blue thread to sew a pair of linen trousers for my SO. He's not going to wear them for a few months, of course, but I want to see if the pattern is correct, so they are high priority.
However, my mother has just finished a filet crochet yoke for a nightgown that I'm going to make in linen for myself. Again, not something that is going to be worn any time soon², but it's a quick sew and it will allow me to know how much leftover linen I have for another project. But it needs a different colour of thread in the machine.
The sensible thing would be to sew the trousers during the next week, and then sew the nightgown. Luckily it's also the lazy thing, so that's probably what I'm going to do.
Can you guess how much I'd want to change plans and start with the nightgown? :D
(there will be pictures of everything mentioned. one day. :D )
¹ lots of handsewing remains, but that takes a different time slot.
² unless I decide to wear it as a chemise, but even then in winter I don't really need a linen one.

in reply to Rivikah • •@Rivikah not changing the thread, not starting another project while there is a WIP ready to be worked on (mostly the latter).
(the trousers have already been cut)

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • •And the thread wasn't even the right blue colour (uooops), I had to change it anyway.
But I'm still doing the right thing and working on the trousers (and on preparing that pattern for publishing).
I maaaaaaay start cutting the nightgown this afternoon? maybe? :D

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • •The trousers are almost done, I have to add the zipper, button and hems.
And I still haven't cut the nightgown (well, i straightened one edge of the fabric, but surely that doesn't count, right? :D )
Also, the pattern for the trousers is aaaaaalmost ready for publishing.
I'm really surprised at my self-control :D

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • •On a more serious note: I still have to edit a few step-by-step pictures and write an introduction, and then the pattern for those jeans will be ready for publishing.
And I've also started to cut the fabric for the nightgown, AND wrote the instructions I plan to follow while sewing it, so that I can take pictures and then publish also that pattern.
The yoke part will have a lot of “and then magic happens” however, as I have no idea how to write a crochet pattern.

I hope I'll be able to finish the nightgown tomorrow.

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • •aaand it's done!
The nightgown is also finished, except for taking pictures of the last step and finished object, as the light had gone as I was sewing.
Which means that there will be no publishing of the pattern today, either.

Unknown parent • •@wynke my problem here is also that the one who did the magic is my mother, not me :D
Luckily it's filet crochet, which should be pretty easy to reverse engineer.
