#re-sewing things feels like staring up a hill with a boulder like sisyphys

[marzipanandminutiae]

so my Spoonflower fabric for my corset arrived (dark teal cotton sateen)

and like

maybe this is on me for ordering a fabric with the color printed on instead of dyed but it feels like. painted fabric

the part with the color is stiffer than the white margins, and feels slightly...tacky, I guess? it LOOKS right- like dyed dark teal sateen, with the sheen and everything. it just feels frankly awful

has anyone else had an experience like this? everywhere I looked for reviews RAVED about the Spoonflower cotton sateen, even other people who ordered solids or patterns with large areas of dark printed color

I'm not sure I want to make my corset out of what feels like a canvas backdrop for a high school play, and I'm pissed because I'm chomping at the bit to get started on it already. I have an October deadline for an event dress, and I'm starting fully from scratch- not even a single fitted bodice pattern to my name. I need this corset, but I really really hate the way the fabric I waited weeks for feels

I don't want a half-assed corset the way the entire rest of my sad little post-fire wardrobe is currently half-assed. if that makes sense

I don't know. pathetic? I guess? #like I had all these beautiful things that made me feel Good About Myself and now most of them are gone
