wip wednesday

who decides what's hard?

is steeking hard?  what about buttonholes?  or cables or lace or sewing knits or or or....

you see where i'm going with this.  i think a lot of the time people think something is hard just because they've heard it is.  things may seem intimidating or be difficult the first time you tackle them, but i always find when i finish a project using a new technique by the time i'm finished i don't feel like it's hard, per se.  a pain in the arse perhaps, but not hard.

on the other hand, is piping hard?  


i'm gonna go with maybe...


see this?  this is a problem.  there's a hiccup i hadn't forseen due to the placement of the piping since i have no idea what i'm doing...

ahem...

at this point i'm just hoping it's all gonna work out.  i find i almost always get this mid-project panic where i realize that i'm doing everything wrong, my color or pattern choices are terrible, and basically the project is probably not worth finishing.  that's where i am with this project. 

i figure that even if it does end up just being awful at least i learned to make and sew on piping?  after all if you can't laugh you just have to cry right?
