The first week of Me Made May arrived and there are a few observations that I can make.
- I feel like I am working with a new wardrobe as there were a couple of pieces that I haven't been able to wear the last couple of years. The red floral Eva dress (Tessuti pattern) and a plaid skirt (OOP Vogue 1378) were packed away after I gained weight. And now these were reintroduced to the wardrobe after some weight loss earlier this year.
- What I chose to wear is mostly dictated by how I feel rather than what I want to wear. Clothing choices are sometimes limited by the need to wear the scoliosis back brace. Pullover or pull-on garments rule over zippers and buttons.
- If I could get away with it, I would live in pajamas. I might want to sew one more pair.
- I would really like to try my hand at sewing a sports bra. Something that I can modify to accommodate the physical changes happening to my back caused by scoliosis. Something that doesn't hurt when I wear it. And something that I can pull over or that has front closures.
Stand strong, elbows up and keep sewing.
I just had the most enjoyable time going to Vancouver Island. While in Campbell River, I shopped at the Discovery Fabrics store. They sell a great variety of athletic and casual wear knits and wovens. I noticed they are in the process of labeling all the fabrics with the country of origin. While many fabrics are not made in Canada,
ReplyDeletethey have some beautiful athletic fabric that would make lovely sports bras, that is made in Taiwan.
Thank you for the recommendation! I'm at the picking out a pattern and working on a toile stage right now. I have Jalie's Pika pattern (3679) that I will try to work on modifying. Fingers crossed. Hopefully soon, I will be able to search for appropriate fabric if the pattern works.
