Lunch break. Finished the green cotton shirt! FINALLY! Yay!
Bad news: I think I have maybe a year before it won't fit any more. Less if I wash it and it shrinks. @#$! these hormones anyway. How much bigger am I gonna GET? Plus it's kind of constricting around the shoulders. I half-undress myself when raising an arm, and it's awfully difficult to get out of the thing by myself. It is also... you ladies, have you ever noticed that when you wear one particular shirt or jacket your bra straps fall off your shoulders all day? This is one of those. I have a few theories about what makes that happen, but I have counterexamples to all of those theories, so oh well.
Good news, though, is that it's done, and I *can* wear it, and the fabric is truly gorgeous. I fell in love with the fabric in the store several years ago and I still love it now. It has mostly greens, some navy-ish jeans-ish blue, and touches of black, purple, and gold. It's one of the few things I've ever seen that's good for a green-eyed blonde gal with a redhead's pink skin tones. With that blue in it, it will look good with dark jeans, too.
Now I can re-thread the machine in white for a project that's been waiting.
