I have declared war against my sewing machine and thread. Honestly, it shouldn't be this difficult. I'm not a totally incompetent person. Sure, I often look at crafts other people make and think "Wow, I could do that!" and then they fail miserably, but this is just ridiculous. It doesn't help that my thread came from the dollar store (and it feels like the friggin' sewing machine did too), it breaks every few inches and for some reason the machine is staining my thread SOMEWHERE, so it is coming out grey. I have a total of six squares sewn, and I've been at it all afternoon. And they're a mess. I'd take a sewing course at the local college but I'm pretty sure they'd kick me out on grounds of utter failure at life.
It doesn't help that I've been feeling pretty stupid in general lately. Nothing seems to be going my way. Looks like I'm destined for flipping burgers. But I haven't tried that yet, and I'd most likely suck at it anyway.
Ugh. Tomorrow I'm going to buy some GOOD thread that costs maybe more than 69 cents, maybe this one wont break every few inches. Of course if its the sewing machine that's the problem, then good thread wont matter anyway, the project's in the shitter.
Might as well go do some homework before I fail out of PR too.
UGH.
