grumble

the problem with being a sewer is that it makes it difficult to buy clothing... everything is just so poorly made these days it is galling! i bought young h a lovely duffle coat at a nice store and one of the buttons was off within a week, and the zipper was coming loose too... just finished sewing on a new button properly, and reinforcing all the other buttons properly, and reinforcing the zipper. grr! serves me right for having standards i guess.

this is also why i love vintage... things used to be so well made compared to now. sigh. can i be transported back about 5 decades please?

wah.

i've been having weirdness with my left hand/arm, so i'm going to be laying off the crafting for a bit. unless i can think of brilliant things to do one-handed. maybe back to quilting for a bit? i don't think i need my left hand much for that...

suggestions?
