Because we live in an apartment and don't have extra room, we have a half-sized tabletop ironing board. Today I'm prepping five and a half yards of beautifully obnoxious fabric to make some beautifully obnoxious summer trousers. I set the iron to the side. It tipped forward onto the carpet. I caught it immediately -- probably less than a second -- but it still managed to melt enough of the synthetic fibers to put my whole project on hold while waiting for the iron to cool enough so I can clean it. So far this Friday feels very Mondayish! 🤣 That said, it's the last day of school for the year, and as soon as kiddo's off her class call we're heading to the convenience store for celebratory ice cream. 😊 #sewing #smallapartmentproblems #ironing #summer #firstworldproblems #notactuallyaproblem #justaninconvenience #stillcomplaining https://www.instagram.com/p/CBn95ywAdQz/?igshid=crgo789im3cd
