Motherfucker. Y'know that screw that holds the needle in on a sewing machine? Yeah. Don't have your index finger right underneath that when you hit the foot pedal. It fucking hurts.

So have you ever actually sewed through your finger yet? Can't call yourself a hardcore sew-er (sewer?) until you do. I've only done it once (the worst is when the needle breaks in your finger...oops, that was probably TMI)--I recommend soaking water with some anti-bacterial soap if you ever do. Sewing wounds tend to be very clean anyway--all that hot friction keeps the needle sanitiezd.

Course then theres the repetative-stress type injuries--you have no idea how embarrasing it is to have to tell your fellow (Western) martial artists that you can't fight for several months because of a sewing injury!

Anyway, sorry your finger hurts...

(p.s. the user pic is my new costuming interest...I need another hobby like I need a hole in my finger!!!)

Somehow I have never done that. Though the way I sew sometimes, it's really only a matter of time.

Those dresses are incredible! Though I certainly understand not needing more hobbies. I keep thinking I want to learn garment sewing, and then I smack myself.
