aahh... thank you 😭😭 i think a lot of it comes to forgetting how irritating they are until I'm doing them, and then i am in the fucking trenches>><< but maybe, maybe if i make more, they'll be more cooperative.....

IT'S INFURIATING. IT'S JUST!! A ZIPPER!!!! LIKE YOU'VE DONE A MILLION TIMES WHY ARE THEY SO MEAN

aahh, that's so tempting..... but i inevitably sew stuff incorrectly despite ALL my best efforts, and i think I'd just have to redo it anywho 😭😭😭💔💔

man you can suggest until the day is long, some shit just *sucks*. i like a lot of the process, but when it comes to the measuring and double-checking and painstakingly laying things out with extreme caution and chess-levels of foresight, i can stay optimistic for about a minute before I just need to white out and come to when the horror is over.XD meanwhile i LOVE trying to think up how to make impossible garments work or mentally taking things apart piece-by-piece to figure out how it's made. everyone has favorites..... and not so favorites ;;

impossible. TERRIBLE. Why!!!!! and i go in with such confidence every time!!

I'm usually making corsets or costumey/cosplay style outfits, so i need the structure of nonstretch most of the time 😭😭😭😭

i actually did reinforce the seams, it was just a tricky closure where i wanted the top to be buttoned over the top of the zipper, BUT i also needed the zipper sewn into the top to hide it. so much finagling....

I'll see about closures first later, although admittedly i do NOT have faith in myself to visualize how they lay so far ahead;;; I'm always working off my own patterns so i need to figure out the steps on my own, and i usually fuck something up

i am using BASIC ass methods, it just drives me up the wall how tedious and exacting it is (i also can't stand laying/cutting patterns for the same reason XD)

i haven't tried glue BUT I've been interested in it, mostly because i am terribly cheap and can't justify always buying the tape XD
