I'm headed to jojos (Joannes) after work to use those good-only-today 50% off coupons. I'm needing a few notions--cording and batting for my sewing room projects, and some more stretch bottom weight twill for the Unique pants. I compared the Unique pants pieces against the cut out Purrfection pieces and there are some interesting differences--the Unique pants are narrower (the Purrfection trouseres were quite wide) and are longer where I was going to add length. We'll see. I haven't pants for me since I was in jr. high.
I sewed! I actually sewed! I got this pretty accordian pleated "broomstick" fabric at my first (and only, so far) BABES gathering (BABES is a group of sistah sewists from the bay area who have Pattern Review in common: I've wanted to make it into a skirt for Easter for 2 years and I finally did! Here it is: I've lost 58 pounds over the past 10 months and this is the first thing I've sewed since I started my diet (Atkins). To go with the skirt I bought a knit top (in the misses department, not the Women's department!) and to complete the outfit my sweet girls gave me a gift certificate for a pedicure so I have matching toenails!
