Crushed Once Again.

So...I almost finished the dress from that toile that fit so well. The dress has been abandoned in its current form, as it looked horrible.

Like, really horrible.

Also it seemed to have grown about two dress sizes larger than the toile...though I used the same pattern and general type/weight of fabric. What the...?

I don't know, man, I really don't. I've been sewing for 17 years and I still eff up like this ALL THE TIME. I follow the rules, alter patterns, measure twice and cut once, and almost everything I sew sucks ass.

I just don't get it.

Anyway, in lieu of posting a photo of my newest disaster, I am going to go curl up in a ball, wail in despair, and give some serious thought to giving up sewing altogether.

P.S.
Time wasted on this project: At least ten hours, all told. F*ck me!
