Curtain-Along Revival

[totchipanda]

I think i FINALLY got my fit issues sorted out! I added 2" to the front below the bust and removed 1" above it (its weird, i know), lengthened the back and sides 1" but will be removing it, amd then - most crucially - narrowed the shoulder piece on front while deepening the armscye edge. It was a good 3/4" too wide, which was cutting into the fleshy bits. Once i had done that and reattached sleeve #2, it still pulled, but only by a tiny amount. FINALLY! Im so pleased with myself! I washed some lining fabric and am about to unpick my curtain.

Had a massage this mornjng which released enough tension in my neck as to cause a headache lol. Maybe the dropping temps didnt help. But i laid in bed for close to 4 hours just chilling. It was nice.

Hurrah on fitting and tension release. Boo on headache.

So far I’ve found one person who has stash panels (but who has not been doing any pandemic sewing), one with a curtain-along UFO (insta miss_smee), and one who was contemplating buying panels (insta cecikierk).

Yay for getting the fit figured out! And yay for massage! I find that I tend to feel better right after a massage, worse the next day or two, and then better again. It's weird. I hope your headache went away!

It did go away, thankfully! I took some advil as soon as I got home and then laid down to keep any and all tension out of my arms if possible. I watched some Netflix and just relaxed, it was really nice :3 I'm def more conscious of how often I tense my shoulders right now!
