"But Chris!" I can hear you saying. (Well, it's either you or the lack of medication) "However did you manage to hurt your fingertips?"
Well, the answer, my friends, is simple. I have been SEWING! And because I feel like being a luddite, I have been sewing by HAND! I spend around 300 on a machine, and I keep sewing stuff by hand. WHY???
Well, in this case it's because I don't want the machine stitches to show through. I'm sewing the fashion fabric onto the interlining of my new bodice, and it just looks odd to have the machine stitches visible.
The point is, OW! My next project is going to be something with big long seams and no buttons or hooks or anything like that. NO MORE HAND SEWING FOR A WHILE!
In other news, I had a job interview on Tuesday, for serving at a private club. My only experience with serving is the fast food variety, but I think the interview went okay. I also have ANOTHER interview on Monday as an office manager type thing in Toronto, and I'm one of only four candidates. And the pay would actually be high enough that I could start building up some savings, even with the cost of commuting.
In other other news, I spent the evening helping my parents clean out my sister's old bedroom so that it can actually function as a guest room. This means that a lot of the fabric and costumes I had surreptitiously stored in there has had to migrate back to my room. If I die in a mysterious closet explosion... well, now you know why.
