mandie_rw: me 1950s green dress (drunkcat)
I know, I know, I said I'd finish the 1940s dress today. But I lied. Actually, I'd probably have been able to finish it tonight if I hadn't apparently been suffering from a case of Teh Stoopid when I cut out the pieces. See, I put in the snaps so I could try it on properly to mark the hem, and tried the dress on. Didn't fit; was too big. By inches, too. Hmm. Looked at the tissue pattern pieces and discovered why; I cut out a size 8. Um, I'm not an  8. In fact, even when I cut out a 6, I tend to have to take them in a bit, at least in Vogue patterns. So...I guess I was feeling fat the day I cut out this pattern? I don't even know.

It's not a hard fix; I can just take it in at the back seam, but it's annoying enough to make me put it off until tomorrow! Plus I still need to cut out quilt squares so I can sew them on the bus tomorrow. *GROAN*
