Well, it was bound to happen. Just wish it hadn't happened so soon. I was asked to take in a seam just a little bit to hide a weird spot where the pattern, white stripes on a navy field, had created a white spot that looked bad. So I took in the seam a little and returned it to the owner. Unfortunately I had apparently not taken it in enough, because she had to give it back to me to fix again. I was a bit embarassed that I had not done a good job the first time, but I took the seam in more this time so hopefully it will hold.
I want to build a reputation for doing good work, so I'm hoping this doesn't happen again anytime soon. But I also hope that having a policy of fixing my work when it doesn't meet standards will also help me build a good reputation.

So busy, top secret for now... and an update
So I haven't been posting regularly lately. Sorry about that oh ye few, but faithful. I promise to try and do better. My real job has been crazy busy up until recently with long hours. But freedom is mine! Or at least normal employment hours are. It feels a bit like freedom though.
I've been working on a super secret project whose details shall be shared in time. I don't want to jinx it, so I won't give particulars. But wish me luck! I am hoping it turns out well.
Update! I started a side business for hemming and mending. I figure I have the skills, why not try to make a little cash right? So many people these days don't want to learn how to do it themselves and would rather just pay someone else. I even had my first customer! Paid and everything. I was so excited. I'm a real businesswoman now, hehe. I feel a twinge of guilt charging people I work with, but kindof defeats the purpose of having a business if you just waive the charge all the time. I offer for free as a favor to friends though. I like to help out my friends. If they want to pay me, that is their choice.
I'm really trying to crack down and clean up my place so I can get my craft table out and start some real projects. I have patterns calling my name for some nice summer skirts and shorts. Since it has been killer hot here lately I could use them. Maybe even a sundress or two. Craziness!
