Sewing troubles +Commissions

Today has been very stressful. One thing after another. First we went out to the nearby art and fabric stores to find a zipper foot for the sewing machine so I could finally finish sewing that damn zipper on (Who would have know how much work goes into sewing a zipper on? Crazy.) The first two stores came up empty so we went home and called a few places. Luckily a store within the big fabric store said they had one so we jetted off but came to find out they didn't have (Let's be honest, they weren't that helpful and didn't even bother looking hard.) 

So we went to that store's main hub just a bit down the street and they were out too! But they were so much kinder and were willing to dig a little deeper and found a zipper foot that fit the machine. They were super helpful and taught us how to use it and everything. So excited that I could sew again we trailed back home only for me to break the needle.

THE LAST NEEDLE!

It hit one of the pins and cracked. ( *$*%$*#*@ ) so my fiance and I rushed out to the nearby fabric store and got there right before they closed (They were closed or were closing, it was like...a minute before their closing time.) But they let us in and we hurried to get some needles. When we came home I couldn't get the needle in and lost on (It slipped down a hole in the sewing machine) then my mom broke the second. Oh my gosh at this point I was going to rip my hair out so I gave up and sat on the couch to give myself some time to chill. 

I'm pretty sure this sewing machine wont last much longer and it's annoying, even through it is over 20 years old! Because I want to start doing commissions. As soon as I finish the new Pandora Hearts cosplays I'll have enough time to start some. Next year would be perfect because I would be making only two cosplays instead of four. Hopefully I can find a job soon.
