Yesterday I was saying about how the short stays had this extra bunch of fabric at the front armhole. Well, I figured out it was because the body of the whole thing was a bit too large. To fix the "bunch up" I ended up taking in on the under arm seams and in the back-center. I had used my old measurements and hadn't taken it the fact I have lost some weight!!! Wow! isn't THAT something! I don't have the rolls below the bra line that I used to have.....What a SHOCK! It just dawned on me that that was the difference! The weight comes off so slowly I had completely forgot about that. YIPPIE!
Anyhow, that problem is fixed. I did all the seams, 3 layers each by hand last night while my granddaughter was studying. I also realize that my hand stitching through the years has really improved. That was a nice observation too! And the fix made the straps fit better also.
Today I will be working on the boning on the short stays.
But the garden is calling too!
Spring is really here and I want to share some pictures I took at Ardenwood:
