Sewing horror

I am really not supposed to sew, its like the universe is trying to tell my something. I have several big boxes of lovely fabric, and I could really use a nice summer skirt, how hard can it really be to make a wrap around skirt? The answer is: Really really hard! It is too wide at the hemline, it does not really fit my waste nicely and not my hips ether by the way, and the front corner is doing something funny. Not very fun at all! And it took me the whole day! I can knit without trouble, strange increases, decreases and patters, silversmithing, sure, some fire and teeny tiny details, no problem at all, but I am apparently not ment to sew at all. Even bread baking and gardening is easier.
