1. Funny/weird story. I'm taking a sewing class, and I ran to the bathroom after our lab today before I went to catch the bus home. I was by myself in the fifteen-ish stall bathroom when a girl comes in, throws her bag on the floor by a wall, flings into the stall next to me, and proceeds to do her thing without closing her stall door. (...!!) At first, I thought I had just spaced and missed a beat, but then after a minute, she reached out and slammed her door closed. How crazy is that? Not generally something I thought would be overlookable. Luckily for her, we were the only two in there. Anyways, weird.
2. I was three minutes late to catch my bus home today, and naturally, the one I was three minutes for was right on time, so I missed it. The buses come in fifteen minute intervals, so I wasn't too bent out of shape. But the next bus was nine minutes late. That never fails to happen when I barely miss the bus I was going for.
3. I learned something very important in sewing lab today. For our first project, we're making a pair of jammie pants. Which are going to be awesome when I'm finished. But anyway, I learned that taking a step back and making sure you have all your ducks in a row before you start sewing is imperative. Because, you see, anyone with basic sewing skills (or even a droplet of common sense) would know that in order to make a pant leg, you need to sew the front piece to the back piece. Instead, I sewed the front pieces to each other, and same with the back pieces. And then serged my seam edges. Which means that I have a lot of seam ripping to do tonight, and a lot of sewing to catch up on tomorrow. Cool, huh? At least I'm learning a valuable lesson from this detour.
So, I'm off to put in a movie and get to rippin' those seams. Wahoo!
