The next installment in thank you Calvin-a re-purposed house dress for this week's lovely spring weather. The original dress had sort of tent like dimensions. You can probably picture any number of female relatives from older generations wearing it with slippers and foam rollers in her hair. I kept the zipper and the big front pockets but chopped the sleeves for a more cap sleeve effect and took in all of the seams in the waist, one at a time until it fit me like a glove. I used the serger, which proved not the best idea because I cut out a little too much fabric from the shoulder blade section and could not move my arms. I had to sew in an extra section across the back and fixed the problem quite nicely.This picture is funny to me because I was focusing so intently on getting a picture in the mirror, I paid no attention to my facial expression. So I look crabby--what else is new. And seriously how many chins do I have? I swear, I'm giving up baked goods...and candy...after easter...
