Well, for the past few weeks I have been working when I can on my Impossibility Challenge which was to sew a dress. I decided to challenge myself a bit more and instead of a sleeveless frock I stepped it up and picked a pattern with sleeves. I found this wonderful english tan corduroy... I was excited.
Here's what I did, it's not pressed and I didn't finish the hem
Looks ok right? I was feeling pretty good about this. That is until I tried it on, and I use "try on" here as loosely as I possibly can. You know what, "loosely" is really the worst word I can use. In no way would this ever in my wildest dreams fit me. Not if I lost 15 pounds... maybe if I was Kelly Ripa, not a 5'10" size 10! I checked again and looked at the pattern to make sure I wasn't out of my mind. It says size 10! Maybe it's a junior size 10! I'm pretty bummed, but know that I tried my best and took my time to follow the instructions. I even watched a youtube video about making sleeves five times!
I really do wish it fit because it looks exactly like what I wanted. I'm going to have to pick myself up and try again. Get right back on the horse. This pattern will be shelved.
