I may kick someone today

I am pretty sure I am going to kick someone in the face today, I guess that's fine since I am not going anywhere. Why you ask? Okay here's why, a couple of weeks ago I decided I was going to make a skirt using a pattern you buy at the store. I chose one labeled "easy" and "fast" and mistakenly assumed that was correct. I am not the world's greatest seamstress, in fact to be perfectly honest I am actually quite awful, but I was pulled in by the idea of fast and easy and thought even I might be able to muddle my way through it. I cannot tell you how wrong I was. I actually had to buy the fabric twice, and yet still no skirt. See I thought making a skirt would be a good idea because none of my "church" clothes fit, darn those high waisted tailored skirts I bought before I had a baby. So now I have this problem, every week when it is time to get ready for church I have two options, one horrible jean skirt or a maxi dress, while they are okay options, i am a little sick of them because they also fit while i was pregnant. Anyway that depressing fact aside, I thought making a skirt would be an in expensive way to increase my sunday wardrobe, wrong! I bought the material, cut it out, and started sewing. Then realized I had cut it wrong and had to start over... by buying new material. I got 16 steps through and now I am giving up, at least for the time being. Every minute i spend trying to get the stupid zipper in or decipher the ridiculous directions (which are neither fast nor easy) makes me more and more upset. So here I am, throwing in the towel and giving up. Projects from a pattern, and more specifically projects with zippers, just arent for me. Maybe if i just throw it in the trash I wont feel like kicking someone.
