I Can't Help Myself

Oh, dear. I just can't keep from checking that UPS tracker every couple of hours! She left Texas just after midnight on the 13th. Maybemaybemaybe she'll be here Friday. Then again, maybe not. Scheduled delivery date is Monday. I can make it.

I'm too selfish. I was thinking about what dh could buy that would make him act like I am about my serger. I thought, "guns". He likes guns and target shooting and hunting. He used to have some guns but he sold them when we used to be poor. What a guy. I asked him and he said he wanted a .350 magnum and a .22. I'm gonna get him one of those.

I So Want to Sew

The pattern is cut out and pressed, the cutting mat is laid out on the table, and pre-washed fabric calls out to me. What is missing? TIME, that's what! And if there's a little time to be had there has been NO ENERGY left to git 'r done. But things are picking up and I hope to have 4 dark blue knit work shirts made this weekend for dh. I just bought him a coupla pair of olive green 'Big Daddy Cargo Pants' at Penneys. Finding work pants for Dh that fit, are comfortable and don't rip the first day on the job has been an adventure. These pants look great on him and they are stretch twill! Yay! I had picked up some black and brick-colored knit collars at The Place That Sells Sewing Machines but now I have olive-colored pants...what to do? Here's what: I'm going to try and find matching olive knit or woven material to use on the work shirt placket and (maybe) collar! How coordinated he will be! Oddly, dh doesn't seem as excited about this as I am....

Narrow Back and Full Hips

There's a thread on Pattern Review about fitting a narrow back and a full bum. That's exactly what I have! I think these alterations are going to prove very helpful: Els' swayback and rounded upper back alteration Debfxvt57's full-hip adjustment I won't need to alter for a rounded upper back for myself, but anything I made for my older daughter would need it, so I'm glad to have found it.
