Felt a little restless
today, so Dearest Son and I hit the thrift we usually visit after Game Day. They’ve
declared every Thursday from now ‘til the end of the month as ‘half off
everything’ days – sounds good to me ! The TollyTots Aurora I nearly bought two
weeks ago was still there, and was pretty reasonable with the sale. Dearest
snagged another trophy from this century, and three bucks anna quarter later,
we were on our way for some cherry-picking at the main local grocers. Big bags
of Kettle Chips for a buck ? I got two !
Once home, I de-bagged my
latest LDP- yikes. There’s signs up saying dolls are
bagged so they won’t be undressed, but I think this one was to hide the purple
knee-to hip leg and stained dress. (sigh) Kind of a shame, as her hair is very
nice. Frankie’s enjoying wearing her crown, I just wish she’d come with her
shoes. Hopefully I can clean her up and re-dress her in something long. . .
Ah, well. Time to sew anyway
! The ‘space’ fabric scrap I had is down to bits and pieces, and I had to play
with what I had to get enough for the dress. That’s why Earth is upside down. But
I can say it’s a very good pattern, pretty simple, and the hardest part is the
neckline. I couldn’t resist those so-80s shoulders, but it’ll be easy to sew
them flat. In fact, there’s a lot of alterations I can do to this pattern and
have a host of clothes from it. Only thing I don’t like is that the arms are
super-tight, and that’s skipping the elastic shirring the pattern calls for. Took
me about an hour and a half, but that’s with several breaks and me taking my
time and re-reading the well-illustrated directions several times. All that’s
left is writing the review I promised.
And I am sooo ready for bed
!
