Well, today I tried my hand at sewing...
God damn disaster, I swear.
It was this extra credit assignment for class. We have to make these stuffed animals and dress them up like famous people that have to do with the class. I decided I'd give it a shot, since a little extra credit couldn't hurt my grade.
So I got down to work. The teacher provided us with shapes we needed to cut the material out of and rather vague instructions on how to assemble the stuffed animal. I got through the first couple of steps with out too much difficulty. Cutting out the materials, getting the eyes, but then it came down to getting the cloth together. It was either fabric glue, which is unreliable or sewing.
Problem is that I've never sewed anything ever in my entire life. When I start though, I know I'm screwed. It's as if everything suddenly stops making sense. The needle and the thread aren't going together, I'm sewing the pieces together the wrong way, and my cut outs aren't fitting properly. I got so frustrated that I felt like I needed to sit in a corner and cry like a child who lost its mother in a grocery store during a shopping trip.
Finally, I was able to pull myself together and finish what I started. So now, my stuffed animal is done, but it's totally malformed. Wherever I sewed, there's fluff bursting from the seams. Everytime I look at it, it seems likes it's trying to tell me something.
Malformed Animal-esque Thing: Kill meeeeee.....
Yeah, well, my hope is that my teacher will give me points for trying.

I loved your fuzzy mole so much!
I think she gave full credit to all the moles, anyway.
