totchipandaAlt title: HEAT WAVE!!! Part Deux
Temps are climbing back into the 30s again, with lows above 15C which is what triggers the heat warnings. I'm so glad I took the opportunity to clean off the AC last week, it's working much better now. Yesterday I took my roommate to her 2nd vaccine appointment, so in 2 weeks our household will be fully baked for anti-bodies. I had also woken up at 4am for whatever reason (I was lying half on my front, and my arm dangled so long that it was completely numb) so by the time we finished Loki, did her appointment, and then had gone to Walmart to get some household stuff and gatorade for her to hopefully not die today, it was after 9pm. And I was DEAD.
I did pick up some elastic there, they didn't have the 2" wide for the pattern, but I made the shorts with 1" in two channels and that worked out OK. I will have to see if I can fix up the way that I sewed it from last time to match the pattern more, or just carry on as I did for the shorts. If my roommate is not dead, perhaps I can convince her to hit up Michaels with me.
GASP I have linen pants on the table and it's gonna be hot! YESSSS COMFY PANTS FOR THE WIN. I wore a skirt yesterday but the wrong protective shorts. Bits of my legs touched which produced friction and now I have soreness and pain. Like had to wear pajama bottoms to bed, which I never do, to keep the bits from touching pain.
ok, FOCUS. I am also participating in pinkmimosabyjacinta's whole 30 fabric challenge on Instagram, which is use 30 yards of stash fabric before purchasing anything new (or start over). I have been low-key stash-only for years now, but I still have SO MUCH fabric and NO PLANS. I totally forgot about it actually, but it started on Monday, and I cut my pants out on Tuesday, so they count. I have not yet measured the remainder post-cut, but I had 4 yards of the linen before.
Hmmm what else can I make for this challenge? I did think about going to the fabric store just for fun, but it would be for fabrics I don't have in my stash, like light-weight knits for shorts and shirts. But it would still reset my current stats lol.
Also, I haven't cut linen in non-squares in so long, I forgot how wibbly it can be. Hoping to get a skirt out of the remainder, because I had mentally ear-marked it for 1920s wear. Mix-and-match is the best!
