Giving Up

I did manage to fix my hunchback problem, but I can't seem to get the top to fit just right. I've resewn the collar line a couple of times but it still wants to bulge. The sleeves are slightly different widths. I'm not sure how that happened.

I guess I'll buy something for the wedding. I might buy a sweater to go over this and wear it on Easter.

The "Oh, shit!" Moment

This is the moment of truth, when I discovered my dress was designed for a hunchback. Let the seam ripping and altering commence. This just keeps getting more and more fun.

But I really am enjoying it, in that it is a complete departure from my day to day work.

Back in Business

My sewing machine has been finicky all week. The thread kept catching in the bobbin thing-a-ma-bob. I took it apart. Cleaned it. Had Eric try to fix it. He watched YouTube videos. We finally gave up. And then it just decided to start working again. Go figure.

I Love Fog

Beautiful foggy start to the day. From my window.

Democracy

I voted.

And I also spent time researching how to immigrate to Canada. It isn't as easy as you would think.
