Sewing success

[susandennis]

Last week, I bought a new pattern for a slouchy t-shirt. I cut it out of fabric I didn't care about to test it. I sewed it up this morning and turns out it was not anything like what I expected. And not wearable BUT... it had some very redeeming features.

So I went back at the patten and changed the shoulder fit, the bustline, the sleeves and the bottom and added pockets and made the new version and I love it. It fits me better and more comfortably than anything else I've ever made!



I already cut out the fabric for another one. This time I used up 4 different fabric bits I'd been hanging onto for no good reason except maybe there was a good reason!

Now I am going to finish up that Hugh Grant thing on Amazon. He's old - and in this he's an old queen... but I still have a thing for him.

Thank you!! And, yeah, I've had those two fabrics around for a while just waiting for the perfect use. Found it.

And even that particular one he handled with hilarity on David Letterman, if you recall.

Thanks, re shirt!

He's old -

Hmph. He's 57.

and in this he's an old queen...

but I still have a thing for him.

He never did a whole lot for me.

[susandennis]

All valid points BUT he is older now than he was. So there. (Wow. 57 only? he's rocking that rode hard vibe.)

A couple of weeks ago, I was in a burger joint with ljtourist and there was this really sexy looking guy. A mature, comfortable sexy. I pointed him out to Frank who wrinkled up his nose like Mr. Sexy had just cut a massive fart.

But, then, he pointed to a guy in another group that he had had his eye on as his choice and that guy would have been way at the bottom of my list.

Big sea. Different fish. Thank goodness there are so many.

I've always liked Hugh Grant so out of curiosity I had to look up the show in which he plays an old queen as I'd never heard of it. It's very funny so far (in the five minutes I've watched).

I love your green and yellow combination.

Well, I've watched all of Episode 1 and it turns out not to be funny although it's full of British wit.

It looks comfortable indeed. :)
