Ugh

Ok, so I'm not quitting cosplay. Yet. But dear god I've been contemplating which would be more painful...

Jumping off a cliff. Or finishing this costume. -_-

Let's just say I did this huge seam that took me an entire day, then realized it wasn't working and should be taken out and redone. But I thought I could be sneaky and fix it in an easier route. And it didn't work. So I had to take that out and now still have to take out the original seams. Ugh.

And I still have no idea how to fix the sides. This is just the bottom. The sides...I'm kinda clueless on and I'm just so sick of everything I make turning out so crappy-looking. I just want one decent looking costume. Why is that so hard?

It's been a lot of foolish mistakes mostly. Like not noticing the lining was shorter than the rest of the jacket at the bottom. Well I tried to check and I thought it was fine but then sewed it together and there was a big bubble of fabric along the bottom. But I had sewn the trim to the bottom first to keep it in place so of course in order to adjust it to the right length, I gotta not only take the lining off but also take the trim back off. x_x Ugh. And this thing is huge so just taking forever.

I think on the sides it may just have been me doing a rush job on it so I'm going to try to redo that too and be a little more careful. But yeah, just been having the actual fabric pucker at places I don't want it to and it just not wanting to lay flat with the lining or look at all as nice as I would like it to.
