green_marthaYes, indeed, why are the stitches on blue jeans orange ? And why is it I have NEVER the exact right shade of orange at hand when altering jeans ? *sigh*
From the previous you can deduce I've done a little bit of sewing tonight : re-hemmed a pair of jeans for the HG and taken in a neapair for mine, which was about three inches too big in the back. I won't go into the details of the nightmare that was the hunting for a new pair of jeans, and how modern clothing standards are made for skinny girls without any form of natural cushion on the lower backside. And when I say skinny, I mean REALLY skeletor-like, because I'm not really that fleshy myself. Yet according to the pants I've tried on lately, XL is too small for me...
Anyway, the jeans alterations wer epretty much everything that has happened here sewing-wise this week. I'm just too drained to make any progress on the Kitty. BUT... I'm on vacation ! Expect progress, pictures, and even a start on my mom's suit, if she agrees to sit with me to discuss it !
