Kalei, if you are in the competitive circuit it is like that, less fun more work. Some can balance between the two and others can't. I have a few friends that work the east coast circuit, she said that some judges do care about fully lined finished seams and others don't. Being judged by people like Yaya Han you want finished seams and visuals. Others don't care about them. She did a burlesque Nyan Cat, and the week before she was all but breathing fire trying to get it finished and went to con with her sewing machine.
