For several weeks, I haven't been well enough to go the clubhouse I've mentioned is normally part of my daily routine. So I hadn't been near a scale, since I usually weigh myself there. I have no idea if I've lost any poundage. But I can still report a major NSV that involves sewing.
I had been in the middle of making myself a black velvet skirt. I cut it almost three months ago, carefully fitting myself, but then found I couldn't see well enough to sew it. I needed new glasses, and it took a while to complete the process of getting them. I took the skirt back up today, started sewing on it, and when fitting, I quickly discovered that now I'm going to have to widen the seam allowances and take it in! For those of you who don't sew, that means make it smaller! The measurements I took three months ago are no longer accurate. And in the "right" direction too. I'm so happy.
I had taken to sewing new clothes myself because it's cheaper than buying them new and already made. Next time I'm going to think twice before buying shiny black velvet, however, since even with the new glasses I'm still having trouble seeing. Darker colors tend to be more difficult when you have vision problems.
When I get it finished, I'll ask hubby to take a picture of me wearing the skirt. OK?
