chocolatepotSpent most of today making my unflattering-but-comfortable vacation dress ("Very Easy Vogue" lol), which looks v. cute but also busty to a very bad degree (and slightly pregnant). I don't care, it's cool and for days when I'm not doing much. The shirting gathers very well; before I started cutting I contemplated making a more flattering dress, but then I decided I wanted one that wasn't too close to my body or tight, and every other pattern I have is pretty fitted.
I was feeling unfulfilled because my intention has been to purge my closet of old clothes as I sew and that's not happening - I then realized that this is because I had hardly any casual/work dresses, so I'm not replacing anything. What is it I really need to throw out? T-SHIRTS. I have quite a few t-shirts that are stretched out/never fit in the first place and need to go. I have to bite the bullet and make t-shirts. So I've sat down and patterned this ragged old Gap shirt that I've kept around because it's soooooo flattering. I wanted to use up some more of the fabric I have before buying more, but I really need these more than a cute '50s striped shirting dress. :( Also, panties. But one thing at a time
Made a strawberry rhubarb pie! It's delicious, also I think maybe the first pie I've ever made entirely on my own? Very watery but I didn't use any tapioca (didn't have any); maybe it will gel up in the fridge.
