totchipandaYeaaaah guess how much sewing happened on the weekend. If you guessed "none" you'd be wrong, but it wasn't for lack of effort! I hemmed the nautical dress and stitched up the strap for the tote I made last year. Turns out the grey fabric is cotton enough to withstand high heat bc it sure needed some to get the creases to stay. I did print out my pattern and put it together/trimmed it down. Had to try on the nautical dress to see if the fit decisions I made there were good (bust is too high, otherwise I like the fit of the shoulders) and used that to cut the pattern to size. I even laid out the tropical fabric to test the layout (not enough, I think) but I had "help" with it all so i didn't actually do much.
Add to that the 30C (85F) weather and the hottest room in the apartment (kitchen) and I did my best to avoid ever being in there. Ah well.
Movie was good, we enjoyed it! Our expectations were pretty low, I think; only the OG Jurassic Park is actually good. I remember mentioning it to Loud Coworker, who went on a loud rant about how she didn't like the Big Boss Dino and its 6 legs. I think she missed the point, that it was supposed to be uglier than Satan's asshole. Like that's how the movie opens, containment breach on their genetic hybrid, island abandoned and somehow self-contained and gas in the vehicle still viable after 17 years ok sure. I think Jonny Bailey should have kept his British accent, the American one is NOT IT. That would have improved his character. Also we are glad we did the fancy seats and the fancy theatre (aka a lil "booth" with walls) bc we could NOT shut up through the whole thing. Sorry other movie goers! I heard the people in the one next to us on my side laughing at one point, so hopefully we didn't carry too much.
