I was busy today. I created a chef's roll. Which there will be pictures of soon but I came away feeling wiped. I should have felt accomplished but it really felt like something was missing. I just gave it my all.
When I am like this, there is always a pile of mending. Yes, I have other works in progress but I am usually making something without a pattern. Mending does not really. So I can do it when I have nothing left.
I had made this skirt a while back. I followed the directions which was probably a mistake. The waistband was a fold over elastic. It was uncomfortable so I did not wear this skirt. Which was just disappointing because of the time I put into it.
But after realizing why I was not wearing it, I altered it. I removed the original elastic. I then rolled over the top and inserted a wider piece of elastic. I also made the waist a little bit tighter. I got of the uncomfortable and I shortened the length just enough so the skirt did not drag on the floor. Dragging it through puddles was not working for me. Now, I can wear it. I may wear it on my travels next week or take it with me. I am still trying to figure out how to put my camping gear and clothes in the same bag for the flight. Something will come to mind!
