monday, 24th june

I have entire house for myself, since friday evening. I somehow I managed without anxiety attacks this time so far. I can't believe I remember about garden work I need to do daily and I didn't make that much of mess, I started to clean up after sewing in my room to keep it clean.

I couldn't read anything so far. I need to get back to books I started, I'm gonna return one book but extend two of them I'll push myself to read this week. I'll see. I need to use my time more wisely as recently I was just sewing without breaks or wathing youtube slop (the kind that doesn't make me angry, just that anti-MLM woman who made videos about consumerist influencer insanity).

After fucking up with sewing as it turned out a top pattern I used, actually a dress pattern had such a small amount of ease in bust that I have to size up... cursed fat on the back!! 38 has bust circumference of 88cm, my current circumference is 92cm so I need to check the ease all the time to see if I have to size up. Some patterns have more ease so I don't have issue and tops don't feel that tight. This pattern also had so shallow armpits. Currently I can wear something with smaller armhole but not that small one. It was only 19cm deep when comfortable armhole for me starts at 21-22cm deep. It's an easy fix at least as it's a sleeveless dress, sleeves are scary... I need to sew few tops with sleeves though.

I did finish sewing shorts though! I did few things wrong that I will do differently in the next pair, as this pattern is so good so I'll use it few more times. I fucked up with facings and I should topstitch the zipper fly wider but mostly they were made way better than my previous attempt at pants (which I plan to fix actually). I slowly fit better into these pants too, even more narrow patterns Burda will fit me now... I tried my failpants yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised that I can actually sit down in them... I need to revisit them, I have more of this fabric and I'll get some leftovers from cutting it for matching jacket so I'll cut the new waistband, fix the pocket placement and sew in lining... these are wool blend pants but fabric is kind of itchy.

I lost and I consoomed more fabric on sale. I want to not consoom a lot in Prague and do more of sightseeing and taking the photos actually. I checked out how many of fabric stores are around but I deciced that I'll check only ones I'll find on my way. I need to buy gift for my aunt and decide what camera(s) I'm taking with myself.
