I will always think of this as my "I Love Work" coat.
 |
| If you look carefully, you can see me trying on the coat...with one sleeve done...another missing... |
AND, in the background of that awful mirror-pic -- you get an idea about WHAT A HORRIBLE MESS my basement is. Ugh...
 |
| I had the sleeves off a black patterned fleece top (44 cents) -- and I made the sleeves twice as wide... |
 |
| I was delighted to be able to retain the interesting faux-leather detailing... |
BUT THEN, IT WAS LATE AT NIGHT, AND I COULD NOT FIND THE OTHER SLEEVE. Ugh. I was sure it was over by the ironing board...nope....or, on a pile near the serger...nope....maybe it got buried again on the top of the pool table...nope. On the folding table near the washing machine?
I LOOKED EVERYWHERE...OVER AND OVER AGAIN...FOR TWO DAYS...
AND THEN -- THIS HAPPENED.....
 |
| YES, CARRIE!! VICTORY....I showed her what I was looking for -- and she found it in a nano-second!! |
 |
| Several days later, I premiered the jacket for Lilly at her big Figge Art event! |
 |
| And, of course, it was my Sew-n-share at TMBC!! |
You are Amazing, your Franken-sewing tickles me. I am so bad at even simple alterations. I got a t shirt that I love it was too big. Especially the shoulder width. I did EXACTLY what Sis showed me to do (She does her own alterations successfully and often.) YEP, it is now TOO SMALL to wear. :( I am holding on to it as I intend to lose enough weight to wear it SOMEDAY.
