I am apalled by my own waist
Jun. 23rd, 2004 12:17 pmIt's sick really. You'd expect I'd be sick and tired of my sewingmachine after 3 months of sewing for the Fair. No. On the contrary, I am quite relieved to be able to sew something for myself for a change. I had the black cotton for a while now, and finally I could start on those jeans I wanted to make. Flared jeans.
I had experienced that it would be too tight around my thighs, with the dark aubergine trousers I made from the same pattern, when my mother got married.
Now I figure out compared to my thighs, taking Burda's measurements (a bad idea in itself, but hey, you've got to start somewhere...) my waist is about 10-15 centimeters too slim. Resulting in me trying to make it fit at all points by taking in the trousers at least 2 centimeters at all five seams at the waist.
My waist is just too slim...*sigh*
