Zzzzzzz

Y'all, ive been up since midnight. Its nearly 6am, and once Guido has breakfast and insulin, its back to bed with me. Insomnia is the WORST, and thank goodness i am not back to work today! (i would have tried harder to nap around 4am if i had been) I was so tired last night i didnt even make it to 10pm but apparently i just wanted a long nap :/

So i read the internet and played a bunch of puzzle games (pipes on a hex grid is especially challenging, it starts at "hard") and my casual games (neko atsume, animal crossing pocket camp, and magikarp jump) and then it was barely 5am so i read the AD book again. Some of the techniques confuse me and i have to read them a million times over before it sinks in. Some of them are less confusing now, though nothing i will be putting into practice any time soon.

And then, now that im getting tired again and its harder to stay awake, i opened up one of the bins and hoped it was the right one. it may have been the costume bin, but lucky me it was fabric! I found one of the florals i wanted to use for the rump and that is happening once im awake again. Bring it on! There is more than i thought, so i might get a cute house-dress out of it as well. Or some linings/facings. That would be ok too lol.

(no subject)

I made the split rump once i woke up again (at 11am!) (and ok, it was still a couple hours later, plus i had to make the pattern) and i am sooooo happy with how it looks. No pic of tje rump by itself yet, but here's a comparison of how the dress looks with the old rump (left; how i wore it this summer) and new (right)

I did it all by machine, and used polyfill in the pillows cuz that's what i have. Easy afternoon project, it only took a couple hours.

Then i measured for skirt lengths and i have a dilemma! I know im 40" waist to floor without shoes. The rump adds 5". Allowing for shoes and an appropriately ankle-baring length, i think my planned fabric is too short. I got it on clearance in LA so no way to get more, and ive got just a hair short of 2 metres. It's the length over the rump that worries me.

How do y'all make decisions and follow tjrough on them? I was about to rip it in half anyway and then remembered i was going to look into a robe a la turque too (but 2m is probably not enough for that either!). I hate the indecision but im also not sure how to get past it without external forces like a deadline.

Also i looked up the themes for coco next year. I dont plan to actually attend the tea but the theme is fancy dress. Im soooooo down for that :D
