Current Notes: Finally, the last Deluxe Fashion Pack...well, packaging !
Local transformer blew up
late last night, looks like it took Dearest Son’s computer’s power supply with
it. Or it just went belly-up on its own, no telling. He was actually fairly
mellow about it – it helped that the tablet goes online, and he could use that.
Plus I finally installed the Wii to the living room TV so that we can watch
Netflix out there now. Been meaning to do that since we moved.
Dearest’s first movie choice
? Ghostbusters 2. Gosh, I miss Harold
Ramis…(sniff)
(grin) Got the karate-gi
style shirt stitched up late Monday night, and decided to wait for sunlight for
a decent photo of it. The pattern called for bias tape edging and belt, well,
since this was a fitting trial, I just hemmed it instead. This fabric also has
some spots that didn’t think were very prominent… until I finished stitching
it. Oh, well. Maybe they’ll come out in the wash.
Sleeves are still a bit
long, even after I took them up about a quarter inch on the fly, so I’ll amend
the pattern, but the fit is otherwise pretty good along the arms without any
adjustment. I think it’s a bit blousy in the back, though, so I may narrow it a
bit. Pattern also calls for a sewn-on belt secured with snaps, but I’m lazy, so
I grabbed a purple fold-over elastic strip (formerly a 1-of-6 headband pack at
Dollar Tree) and gave Tia a snazzy tie-on belt that holds it together instead.
I’ve already got the next
pattern picked out – here’s hoping for early nights for my guys again !
