I'm pretty organized.
When I start a project, I gather all the necessary fabric, trim notions, in a ziplock and I whenever ready or in the mood, I start on the project. 
I started this three years ago and you know what? I am not going to finish it. I hate the color, I hate the fabric I chose, I hate the fit, I loath the crotch, I hate the tiny pockets, this style of pants doesn't suit me and I am never ever going to wear them even if finish them. 


So I unpicked the zipper and chucked it.
This is supposed to be liberating right? It's not. I still have so much work. Pants geometry eludes me. I have yet to make a pair that looks, feels and fit right. 
I keep delaying the toile making, but I'm running out of options my favorite jeans are about to die and I'll have to do something about this very soon.
So I bought a Japanese jeans pattern, my favorite pair is Japanese, and I have just received the pant pattern that comes with Sandra Betzina's class.
I'll eventually get to it...in a near distant future.

  1. I feel your pain. I recently chucked my muslin for a pair of Vogue trousers that had been in the making for a year and a half. I also just completed my first muslin for the Clovers - it's not looking good. Best of luck with the Japanese pattern.
