So my first pocket square is done. If all of them look like this, though, this month’s thing will be a pretty big failure.

The front looks all right from a distance, but my stitches are still unevenly spaced and the back looks pretty terrible. I think this weekend I’m going to use the sewing machine and hope that makes it some better.

I was not kidding when I said I’m inept with a needle.

Four days in and I feel way behind. Finally got around to cutting fabric for the pocket squares. I thought I’d be able to get more than one out of each shirt. Tomorrow I start stitching. Anyone want to lay bets on how long I stitch before drawing blood?

I’ve been somewhat absent

And somewhat distracted. I realized after a lot of effort that the sound I was getting from using MIDI wasn’t the sound I wanted for the song. So it’s not entirely back to the drawing board, but that was a false start.

I might have a rough edit done by this weekend, though.

I’ve been quiet, because the past few days have been a crash course in all the things I’ve missed in digital audio production in, oh, the last decade or so.
Hint: It was a lot.
