I realized this morning that I worked the straps of the Reynolds top incorrectly. When I turned the straps right-side-out, the interfacing was on on the outside, rather than the inside. It seems that when I folded the straps in half to sew them up the side seam, I folded them the wrong way. The interfacing should’ve been on the wrong side. I also seam ripped the top stitching on the back panel and accidentally ripped a hole in the center back of the seam. Today’s sewing momentum was pretty slow and a little demoralizing, but I have a plan to fix these mistakes moving forward.

I also started listening to Emily Henry’s Funny Story on a whim. I listened to Great Big Beautiful Life a couple of weeks ago and found the story and characters really compelling and interesting. That was my first foray into Emily Henry and was pleasantly surprised.
