Snow. Arctic temperatures. More snow. Crazy, yet minor, medical issue that has kept me off my feet and out of the gym and rink for TWO weeks. Family drama. Weight gain because I haven't worked out in a while and probably won't for at least another week. No sewjo.
February, be nice, mmmkay?
On the sewing front...
The KLM jacket is still not finished. I sat down at my sewing machine for the first time in over two weeks and finally fixed the notched collar. I need to attach the sleeve lining to sleeve hem and finish bagging the lining.
I also started another pair of jeans - but not from Jalie. This time, I'm using a BWOF magazine pattern: 11-2009-125.
It's the same pattern out of which I made my skinny jeans that are now more like jogging pants because of the stretch. Wild huh? I'm bringing the 70s back with a vengeance. I'm almost 40 (!!!) but I think I can still rock funky bell bottoms. See that's the thing about being my age: I'm old enough to know better, but young enough to not give a shit. =)

I love the line drawing and I think bell-bottoms are cool.
ReplyDeleteI like it, too. I hope my version comes out as nicely as the ones I've seen on PR. I like Kadiddlehopper's version the best.
DeleteSorry to hear your January was sucky. Here's to February!
ReplyDeleteHere, here!
DeleteI don't know what to think of the trouser line drawings. I suspect it'll look better made up in fabric and draping properly. :-)
ReplyDeleteLOL. What sold me on this pair was the made-up garments in the magazine and seeing other sewn versions. I hope it all goes well!
DeleteChanneling your inner Jay-Z! :)
ReplyDeleteI sympathize. I know when all things are sitting on your head, squeezing tightly.
Hope you're back at 100% soon and you can rock your funky bells all day long!
Jay Z said this too? I didn't know that. =)
DeleteI hope you are feeling better and know you are not alone concerning weight. I have always been good at staying focused, but the last few months a total disaster. So looking forward to your jeans.
ReplyDeleteUgh. After doing so well with my weight two years ago, it's like I let everything go. Not being able to work out for three weeks definitely not helping! Let's hope we both get back on track. =)
DeleteI love your old enough etc comment... gave me a good laugh! Things can only get better if it gets warmer.
ReplyDeleteHaha. It's so me. =) This winter has been especially cold! I should have known this was coming by looking at how chunky the squirrels were back in December!
DeleteHope February is better to you. I too laughed at your last remark, keep that spirit!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sigrid! I hope you have a fabulous Feb as well. I am getting really comfortable about not giving a shit about lots of stuff. It's very freeing. =)
