I'm giving up on the dress I'm making because I'm pretty sure it's cursed.

First there wasn't enough fabric for the pattern I really anted to make, then when I went with my compromise pattern the bodice didn't work out and I had to cut a new one. Of course there wasn't quite enough fabric left over for a full bodice, so I had piece it together with bits from the old one, and even then it took quite a bit of fiddling around to get it to fit properly. After that I ran out of white cotton for the first time in about ten years and THEN my overlocker decided to die just as I was finishing off the back seam so I could put the zipper in.

Cursed, I say, cursed.
