Thoughts we all have when we are fitting ourselves.....

Okay so fitting is the bane if every dressmakers life. I mean it's all well and good if you've got a handy second person to help you but what if your alone? Or what if the second person doesn't know what their doing? 

So here's a post about all the thoughts that go through my head when I'm fitting........

It's time to fit.........

• I should have basted the seams.... Why didn't I baste the seams. If I have to unlock them I'll scream.

• am I wearing the right pants for this dress? (I can guarantee that I am not wearing the right pants) 

• changes knickers 

 • how on earth do I pin the back seam? 

• folds self like a pretzel 

• where's the mirror? I need a mirror?

• whys it so loose? Is it meant to be this loose? 

• checks pattern.........HOW MUCH EASE???????? 

• Takes a few inches off the seams

• puts dress back on....

.• can't breathe...... CANNOT BREATHE 

• Maybe it's my pants......

• puts on big scary stomach sucking in pants and bra that makes Pamela Anderson jealous

• are the darts in the right place? Surely my boobs don't look like that?

• dress fits

• why did I choose this fabric? Do I like this fabric? Oh it was on sale.....what a nice fabric!!

• that hems quite long? I'll take off an inch or two

• hems dress...

• oh hello pants! Gosh that's a bit short... Maybe I shouldn't have cut it? I'll have to do a smaller hem..

• finishes dress, shows husband "it's alright" 

• necks a bottle of rose 

Who else hates fitting projects to themselves? 

Much love
