How Slow Do You Go?
I'm not always the most precisely working person. To be honest, I kind of tend to go for the slapdash approach. And even though a while ago I decided to change my way of working (funny, I was working on a coat back then too. What's that with me and coats?), in general I still like to take shortcuts.
It's tempting to do that again now since I'm really, really wanting to have finished my coat already. But the fabric is too beautiful. This coat promises lovely spring walks, maybe even some glasses of wine on a terrace in the sun. So I restrain myself. And take the secure, precise route.
And I really enjoyed that today. While the two littlest ones were asleep, I chose a spot in the sun and started pinning and basting. Slowly, precisely, I worked on the sleeves. And what do you know? The part of a project that I always find a bit challenging now went like a breeze. No puckers, no muttered curses, in less then half an hour, the sleeves were set in. I was kind of impressed with myself, I have to say :-)
How slow do you go? Do you take shortcuts to reach results or is your approach precise and secure, never compromising the quality of your work?
