I'm not here to tout my time management skills. I know I could do better; the date of my last blog is an example. I follow some sewing bloggers that post every day. That's nice.
But, that's not the gist of this post. I was watching Season 4 of Project Runway. If you don't know by now I'm addicted to it and as a matter of fact I'm watching two seasons at once. The most recent challenge is to design a three-piece outfit for Tiki Barber that he can wear as a sportscaster. Most of the stuff the designers came up with was okay and a few didn't finish. One judge had the audacity to scream about not having any time management skills to a contestant who didn't finish a shirt. Um, design, shop, construct, and fit a three piece outfit in a day and a half? They certainly weren't allowed to go to the nearest Joann's to pick up a pattern. What was that judge smoking? He's some muckity muck designer that has people sew his clothes for him.
I admit I used to be faster. I could sew a blouse in 45 minutes and a dress in about 8 hours. I think I'm still pretty quick. Today I designed three new aprons, repaired a hole in a wool coat, and cut out a dress but maybe I didn't manage too well since I didn't sew all three aprons or the dress for that matter. I guess that's the my reality.
Although I'll still keep watching Project Runway I just have to classify it more as a fantasy than a reality show.
