Can't sleep, coat will eat me

[clevermanka]

Awake since 4:15 this morning. Good times!

Worked on the coat. Found another problem. The pocket flaps don't fit the pockets. At least the problem is on the side of too big so I don't have to scrounge for fabric to re-cut the things.

Unreal.

How does Reconstructing History patterns stay in business? Is this their only pattern that is so seriously flawed?

Oh, oh...so I left a message on the actual Reconstructing History website, like the pattern designer said I should do when I had such a time getting the mods on the yahoo group to approve my initial query message. I did that last week, asking her advice on the shoulder seam issue.

*cricket*cricket*

Good customer service, my ass. On the plus side, I think this will be a lovely garment once I figure out how to solve all the problems from the pattern.

I'm going to start drinking as soon as the sun comes up in hopes of catching a nap before too late in the afternoon.

Update: Thanks to the cloud cover, it took an inordinately long time to get daylight. I'm just now (at 7:20) getting my Bailey's. Sheesh.

I started with Jameson's in my morning tea. I then did a bit of cleaning, bleached my hair out again, helped Jbird move the new compost around (read: bossed him about and handed him a beer when it was over), and now I'm going to eat lasagna and drink red wine. Lather, rinse, repeat. :)

That pattern deserves nothing less than burning but after all the effort to figure it out, maybe it should be framed.
