Slacker

I've literally gotten nothing done in the last week and I'm freaking out a little bit. I'm way behind on the goals I set for myself. I had a goal to be finished with my Outlander dress by the end of February and it's March 5th and I haven't even started the redraw of the bodice pieces let alone cut out a mock up.

My next deadline is to have my teens dress finished by the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. So that gives me roughly no time to sew the corset AND the dress.

Not to mention I've added another project to my pile of projects, because I needed another creative project like I need a hole in the head.

This past week my husband and I bought a vintage pop up camper that we plan to renovate. Meet our 1977 Apache Ranger hardsided pop up camper:

At least it's vintage, right?

Guys, it's so 70s inside it hurts. Like, who decided the en vogue colors for the 1970s were brown, baby shit yellow, the ugliest shade of green I've ever seen in my life, and orange? A little known fact about me is that I pretty much hate brown. When I was little we moved from California to Colorado and rented a mobile home, in a trailer park, that I'm pretty sure was built in the 1970s because it was like living inside a giant turd. The carpet was brown, the walls were brown, I'm fairly certain the ceiling was brown. It was just a shrine to the color brown and it made me hate it. So the inside of this camper is going to get a total overhaul so I can hopefully remove much of the 70s influence.

Now, you might be thinking, "But Megan, you're all about vintage stuff! Isn't that why you sew old clothes and watch movies set in decades that you don't belong in?" Well, the short answer is yes. The long answer is that my love for vintage pretty much extends to the mid-late 50's at best. The 60s are not my thing, and neither are the 70s. As a child who was born in the last year of the 1980s I'm all about good 80s movies, but the fashion is meh and the design style is even worse (though not nearly as bad as the 70s). Maybe some day that will change, but for now I'll be modernizing my camper.

Maybe I'll include some updates as we renovate, in addition to trying to stick to at least a rough deadline for my CoCo projects.
