Venting!!!

I am so frustrated!!!!! On Sunday (tomorrow) it's Mother's day. So for the past couple of weeks I've been planning various things that I want to make for Mum. However, I'm the biggest procrastinator in the entire universe so of course I didn't put any of these plans into action till yesterday. Mum's going in for surgery on Monday so along those lines I wanted to make her: A cute new tote bag to carry stuff to the hospital, and a bright colorful pillow case (She has to stay overnight so she's taking her own pillow).

But from the second I started sewing I've run into so many problems!!!!!

My bobbin ran out of thread.....three times (I have no idea where all that thread went)

I sewed the handles (for the tote) wrong and had to spend an HOUR unpicking them

I burned myself with the iron and poked myself about a bazillion times with pins

The feed dogs on my machine decided to stop working

My machine decided it was only going to sew in one place and refused to move

I cut the fabric for both projects horribly not straight!

Because I didn't cut the fabric straight I had to sew a HUGE seam across the bottom of the tote

Even with the huge seam anything you put into the pockets will disappear into the lining

And for some reason I forgot to double the width of the fabric for the pillow case and have to buy more fabric for the other side!!!

I also have to finish a few swap items and will be gone all evening because I'm helping my Aunt with a catering job so I'll probably be up all night and I'm already really tired because I was up almost all night yesterday too!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
