susandennisI am feeling so smart. Someone needs to smack me back to reality here.
I had some ideas floating in my head on how to make that new coat work better on my fat body. I had a couple of plans. All involved needed fabric so when 10 am hit, I put the coat on and walked up the street o the fabric shop.
On the way, the solution popped right into my head. So simple. So perfect.
I bought 1/4th yard of black boiled wool. [This fabric shop has a small inventory and very little of the fun, colorful knits I love. However, this morning they had 4 - FOUR - different black boiled wools. I love the northwest but I hate its color scheme.]
Back at home I cut the coat up the back and BAM! a trapeze coat that fits perfectly. Turned out to be the easiest fix in the world. I am beside myself with joy over the whole thing.

Date: 2019-02-15 04:34 am (UTC)the clerk at the fabric store, who's familiar with my purchasing past of print knits did say ... "you know this is wool right? and black?" I thought that was cute.
