So I'm working on crappy Pennsic shorts (aka puffy 16th century men's pants) cuz there's nothing better than hanging out in men's pants with a loose linen shirt and no stockings when it's a billion degrees outside.  Despite the fact that this is the epitome of crappy garb that will only make an appearance once per year, I am still sitting here

It's the Laurel-ness in you!

Hmm. Thinking...

LOCD?
pathological perfectionism (I suffer, too, so I'm NOT pointing and laughing.)?
the girl can't help it?
Crap garb doesn't deserve this attention, luv. Of course, I am stupid about these things, too.

Word.

Next growth opportunity?

Maybe this is your next growth opportunity? - Realize when good enough involves machine button holes, etc.?

And there is nothing wrong with making kick-around garb well, as long as you have the time for it and are not making yourself miserable.

I made the buttons because it had been years since I had stuffed buttons. Then I started on the buttonholes because, well, while I've sewn hundreds of eyelets I don't think I've ever done buttonholes before. It's like a dark tunnel you can't crawl out of...

I think I will make my linen shirts entirely by machine with serged seam finishes just to compensate. :)

Not a disease and doesn't need to be stopped. Just finished a linen Viking underdress for Pennsic, the linen apron to follow soon!
