The weekend is nearly over and has anything come out of my sewing room? NO! It's been one of *those* weekends. That's not to say that I didn't get in there yesterday and this morning, but I hated what I tried so I just gave up.
I actually traced 2 Burda WOF pants patterns, cut the muslins and sewed them up. The first one was me trying to upsize a non-plus size pattern. It mostly worked but something went wonky on the front seam and I didn't feel like figuring it out or messing with it. So then I tried a similar design that was already a plus size, except it was for a knit. I traced a size smaller than usual and it was way too big to even think about doing in a woven.
After that, I was asking myself why am I trying to reinvent the wheel when all I want is very easy, very casual summer capris? Why not use a TNT pattern? So, that's what I'm going to do when I can get back in the sewing room and the sewing mood.
For now, I'm stuck doing the paperwork I was putting off and finishing up the drywall in the family room. No flooring has been started yet, but we're very close. I'm hoping to have a finished floor in there by the end of next weekend although I'll probably have to work on it in spurts over the upcoming week.
