what to do, what to do

I’ve been sewing a bit the past little while, but nothing exciting.  Ryan has charged me with altering some of his dress and button up shirts so they’re not the blowsy balloons they have been.  I think I’ve just finished the last of them.  It seems all of my projects as of late have been altering existing clothes mostly shirts and making dresses longer and such, maybe some day I’ll make a business of it .  For now I can’t think of anything else that needs altering/fixing.  Okay that’s not true, as I type this I’m remembering some comfy pants I started and need to work on the pattern because they fit pretty horrendously….that doesn’t sound too exciting though so it may sit a bit longer.  Usually I make my own patterns, but this time I bought one from BurdaStyle and I guess when I buy one I expect it to be perfect or at least fit like it does in the picture and fit the size it was mean to fit.  I’m realizing this is not so.  I thought buying it would cut down on the drafting work significantly, but it looks like it’ll take just as long as if I’d drafted it myself.  Disappointed about that, but I could really use a good pair of comfy pants that don’t have holes in the knees and don’t cut off my belly circulation so maybe I should get to work and stop whining about it.  Pants are a touchy subject with me nowdays.  I really can’t stand maternity pants.  I don’t care for the panel ones, I just don’t like any pressure on my belly, and my under belly ones are all a little big so they keep falling down and look so frumpy in the bum….. so I resort to stretchy pants, but all the respectable pairs I have are getting too snug on my buns and belly to be socially acceptable so I resort to the holey ones.  daily.  Yes I am in need of a good/must be comfy pair of pants. 

That completes the end of my pant woes.  I’m sure every other pregnant girl can sympathize.
