It ...I think I'll send it along to her, anyway. It will be inside the skirt, no one will see it. Skirt was thrifted, so a make-it-work slip seems appropriate. <br /><br /><br />I only worry because this is the child who, at age three, picked up a little stuffed toy from a table at a snooty gift store, inspected it closely, then informed the saleslady, "This item is not constructed very well." I was mortified that she was so honest, and so loud; yet proud that she knew what she was talking about. Also that she was speaking in complete sentences and used the word "constructed."Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132533809320962451.post-71879209398776111832014-07-23T19:31:06.065-04:002014-07-23T19:31:06.065-04:00Yeah.

So, maybe your approach was the right one!Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132533809320962451.post-315613083662726742014-07-22T12:26:34.621-04:002014-07-22T12:26:34.621-04:00Ugh.

'Cuz I'm lazy about both sewing and dressing. Well, I finished my drapes (blogging a big behind the finished project) and now am wandering around in What-to-sew-next land, which I HATE. No mojo to sew for the sake of sewing, and no one really needs anything to wear these days, so really no reason to sew with purpose. Vicious circle of indecision. *shrug* So I re-read Star Wars novels for the 1000th time, cleaned... for the 1000th time, and watched TLC with the DDs. On the whole, a totally unproductive weekend, which, in itself, is annoying and part of the no-sew-jo circle. :)Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132533809320962451.post-82491560432191095842014-07-22T09:51:18.488-04:002014-07-22T09:51:18.488-04:00Thanks - yeah, I've already taken a second loo...Thanks - yeah, I've already taken a second look at the pattern.

Realized that the mini half-slip for my Dear Daughter, eked from scraps of orange silk, included both a tiny insect hole and an ineradicable stain near the hem. Darned the tiny hole. Will wash the wretched thing and decide whether to slap a lace applique over the stain, or just wad the whole endeavor. Sadly, wadding would mean I still have to come up with a solution so she can wear the skirt she asked me to line for her. It is a circle skirt. I'd have to buy fabric.<br /><br /><br /> Gave up sewing after that and just lay on the sofa and watched junk t.v.Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.com
