This is why I can't have good things...
Things I have done today:
-drowned multiple plants by accident
-flung vinegar at insects (on purpose, though I'm really not sure what good it did)
-discovered that part of the problem with my sewing machine was me
Yeah. My sewing machine was dropping stitches now and then. Yesterday I dusted the interior, oiled it and it still dropped stitches. Today I was doing a bit of online sewing blog surfing and I stumbled across this helpful tip: change the sewing needle every time you start a new project. Dull needles can cause dropped stitches.
I don't remember when I last changed my sewing needle. Suffice it to say, it's been a good long time. I'd sort of forgotten about the importance of that step during the years I wasn't doing any sewing.
And guess what?! No more dropped stitches.
In celebration, here are two recently completed dress projects I just posted at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
