The first striking think I’ve learned about sewing is that it is not<\/em> a fast hobby.\u00c2\u00a0 I realize that I’m a complete beginner, but after a day of work, all I’ve managed to do is cut out two of the four pieces of cloth and mark them.<\/p>\n

True, at least half of the time can be\u00c2\u00a0attributed to my sheer lack of experience, but even accounting for that, sewing is a very slow process.\u00c2\u00a0 But I guess you can say that about almost any hobby.\u00c2\u00a0 Cooking, gardening, coding — to create anything requires a fair amount of time and effort.<\/p>\n

My second observation regarding sewing: many sewing enthusiasts seem to have cats.\u00c2\u00a0 It turns out that cats are quite… well, let’s just use the word “mischievous” so I don’t piss off too many cat lovers.<\/p>\n

Several times, I found Raven (my cat) sleeping on my fabric after I had laborously washed, dried, and ironed it.\u00c2\u00a0 After shooing her off more than once and I began working with the fabric (therefore she could no longer lounge on it), she decided my pattern (which had also been ironed) was second best to my fabric as a cushion.\u00c2\u00a0 Every time I removed her from my pattern and put it somewhere else on the desk, she would\u00c2\u00a0follow it like metal shavings following a magnet.\u00c2\u00a0 Every time I turned around, she was laying on the pattern again.\u00c2\u00a0 And finally, with my pattern and cloth laid out over the table as I was cutting the fabric, she tried several times to jump on the table.<\/p>\n

Cats can be both annoying and funny in the sewing area.<\/p>\n

Did I mention it was a slow hobby?\u00c2\u00a0 Hopefully I will complete my Halloween jammie pants before Halloween. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
