Whine. Whine. Whine.

I've been on a roll so of course, the inevitable was bound to happen. 

When I was deciding on my mini wardrobe I saw a super cute outfit (that I can't find now) with a kelly green blazer and lime jeans. So that was the basis of my mini wardrobe. 

Well today I got ready to cut my pants and after cutting the back piece went to rearrange the fabric to cut the front and realized my error. 

When I pulled the fabric out it was folded cut end to cut end. I folded it "the right way"; selvedge to selvedge. 

Sigh. 

It's a stretch twill. The stretch runs parallel to the selvedge (instead of perpendicular). So my pants were cut with lengthwise stretch. 

I have no desire to finish the mini wardrobe now. Super melodramatic I know...but I don't. I've gone through my stash to see if there's another fabric I'd like to substitute and there is not. I don't have anything with that same oomph as the kelly/lime pairing. 

I'm very 'woe is me' about it all.
