I took muscle relaxants on a few nights and while this helped and I'm feeling better they made me a bit groggy etc in the AM. The bit of sewing I have done has been fraught with issues. I went to attach the sides and found the gores were too short. Ugh. I had an insomnia night where I realize I could just flip the gores so the hypotenuse side was against the over teh shoulder seam and the straight edge was the corners and that worked. I got mel's kaftan to sides on again and thought I should do a fit check and see if he liked it before I finished internal seams and sewed up the sleeves. Yeah, it didn't fit. His shoulder/trap/lats flying squirrel muscles have gotten bigger so it was tight across the chest. Easy fix of increasing the size of the underarm gussets top measurement but still ugh.

So after that I came home after an 11 hour day and just made trim. Got to iron it yesterday and I messed up in the middle and had a seam on the outside so I seam ripped it, resewed the few feet section and then turned everything off. I was not meant to sew. My TV has having issues connecting to the network during all of this and willow kept laying exactly where i needed to walk to the ironing board. I dropped my clapper on my foot and almost dropped my very nice heavy seam ripper on it too. So yeah. I took myself to the family room, poured a beer, had toast for dinner, cued up the animated Robin Hood and wove. The boys got home and finished off most of the leftovers in the fridge and joined me in the fun of the movie. That finished, mel was chatting with me and I pulled up Sleeping Beauty.

I was musing about we could do a whole Disney reign with history bounding clothing. It would be fun. His comment was...I'm two weeks back to heavy fighting after an injury. I was like "yes your GRACE." I'm not thinking we will win but a good showing would be good. Thus me making us clothes and starting to make new things and purging stuff eventually.

So, work today is short since I'm at hours. I need to get to a notary for some paperwork, get my flu shot and then head to a work happy hour at a brewery I've not been to. I also need to get some laundry done and wash bedding and sew. I have measurements and can fix the gusset now. Though checking my math I should have had enough ease...WTF. Obviously need some brain power on that. I probably cut the back panel too narrow now but have to adjust now. But i can do it. It just going to be annoying with him going to an event tomorrow. Sighs. So tonight I figure it out and tomorrow I sew! That is the plan...we shall see how it is at first engagement. Lol
