Just a brief status update. The past week was very busy, as I knew it would be; the week between the two Bard Music Weekends always seems to be packed, and weekend #2 kicks off with a symposium all day Friday which we always attend as well, so it was a short week as well as a busy one.
Still, I did manage to get in my sewing room a little bit even though I did not get the muslin finished and I don’t know what size pattern to order yet.
I had previously traced the pattern. I made my standard forward shoulder alterations and also a full bust alteration, or at least my first attempt at same. Then I cut out the first muslin. I did not finish making it. I am still obsessing working on the fba. It is not something I had to do until a couple of years ago and I have not had much practice.
I did realize however that I am going to order the patterns I want whether I do it now, while shipping is cheaper or later. The shipping price is not going to deter me. Therefore there is no reason to make myself crazy and rush. Things should lighten up next week, I can take my time making a decision, and order when I am ready. I am not going to be making these patterns until a little more weight comes off anyway.
