chocolatepotWell, I'm kind of frustrated because the two nice cardigans I ordered from Banana Republic came and are both too big (I measured myself with the size chart!!) and way too long, and all the sewing patterns I can find are actually complicated hacks of other patterns and I don't really like sewing with knits anyway, and the knitting patterns are all ugly. I might have to frog the cardigan I made last year and remake it in a smaller size. UGH. I would just buy one but it's so hard to figure out which store would be most likely to send me something actually good that would last. But I just found this Etsy shop, Embonpoint Vintage, which has patterns you scale up with special rulers, and she has exactly the kind of coat pattern I'm looking for. So at least there's that.
(Also, this dress, which I can't get over for some reason.
I can't decide if I should cut about 10" off my hair, bringing it up to my shoulders-ish (which works really well with the texture, the waves/curls are more defined around my face and it's not as flat on top as it is when long) or if I should leave it (I do Regency demos every so often, and in February I'll be doing late 1860s). Logic tells me that everyday should trump once-in-a-while, but I am genuinely so bad with hair stuff that I don't know if I can do anything useful with the half-wig that I have. How do you even use a half-wig?!
Saving some recipes so I can close some tabs:
Shortbread toffee cookie bars
Monster cookie bars
Peanut butter cookie bars
Cookie dough bars
Salted caramel chocolate chip cookie bars
