The first fitting

[femkes_follies]

So, yesterday was a bit trying all the way around. It took me from 8 AM to a little after noon to clear my surgery schedule. Including one procedure I hadn't done in eons - so I made Marlene hang out until I was past the tricky bits... just in case.

Then I stopped off at Lucia's for the first Fitting. She had a pattern that Alaina had sent her that was about 4" from meeting in the center front. Which I chalk up to the vagaries of trying to measure yourself. So I managed to redraft just the front pieces, put the toile back on her, and get a decent fit with just some minor tweaking of the side back seams. Yeah!! We talked about the construction details and what sort of underpinnings she'll need. Now I need to sit down and compile my thoughts so I won't be totally confused later.

Since I couldn't find the notes I was looking for on the corset construction, we opted to hold off on the Venetian until I can shake down my sibling for better directions.

I have the day off... at least until Boo gets home from school. So I'm off to go create havoc where I can.

Wondered if the measurements were off, but I don't guess anymore. Sorry the pattern didn't fit.

I don't blame you. And it actually gave me a nice, confidence lifting chance to fit somebody for something. Which is a good thing, both for me and for Sue.

In reality, I had the morning off. Boo gets home from School early today. And we're getting our cable turned back on for the first time in 3 years. ;-) Baby steps toward re-entering the 21st century. So we spent some time looking at freezers this AM. And then I crawled back into bed to recuperate a bit from yesterday. My shoulders are REALLY sore. I think it's more so much surgery yesterday, and less the yoga. THAT is more affecting my legs. It's a bad-sore vs. good-sore dynamic.

c a b l e... I got rid of that too. I like the new one better. D I S H. But like you said baby steps. :)

It probably is the surgery. More than you were used for and you were tense over the one.

Oh and Dan is contacting Holly R, so the next question is when. :)
