I cut out the pattern pieces today. We don't have a table big enough for all that fabric, so I had to use the floor.
I hurt. I don't even feel good about getting such a big step done. Instead I'm near tears over how frustrating it was and how sore my back and knees are. I ended up skipping 'supper' (whatever you wanna call my third meal of wakefulness during a 24-hour period) entirely because I didn't want to just leave cloth on the floor where it might get messed up. Percivale got tossed in the bathroom early to keep him from messing things up. Mordred was quieter and so got to stay out and wander around. At least he didn't go running across the cloth- he stepped very carefully and calmly over or around it.
Sometime tomorrow I hope to get the sewing machine all prepped and stitch a few things. Right now, it doesn't feel worth all this agony, but I'm too stubborn to stop here. I'm going to finish this project.
