I thought I needed a reminder about why I don't buy, or even look at, babydoll/empire waisted clothing. Most of the time, they just make a person look pregnant. I'm no different.
The biggest problem was that the gathers at the waist seam didn't just flow/fall straight down, they kind of bunched OUT. Which, needless to say, isn't flattering. Well, the picture on the pattern looked cute. Maybe I'll save this as a grocery-shopping dress or something :P Or a house dress. It is really comfortable. Maybe it'll grow on me, who knows.
I have quite a few projects going right now, always one thing left to do, I need to buy a zipper, or I need to hem, etc etc, but I feel like I dislocated something in my left back/neck/shoulder blade area and I don't really feel like sitting at a machine. I made the mistake of cutting something out, where I sit on the floor bent over the fabric. Not the best idea I had. Anyway, I'm sure it'll go away soon. In the meantime, I'll use 'in need of health insurance' as another motive to find a job. I applied to like, 3 earlier today. One that I was really excited about turns out to be an internship. A paid one, but I'm going to leave that till the end in case I'm desperately in need by the time September comes around. Which, holy crap, is fairly soon seeing as how 2 weeks of August will be spent wasting time in Massachusetts (without a sewing machine!)
Anyway, that is enough rambling. I may watch Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna again tonight :P
