mala_14Just got my internet (and TV and phone) installed today. So you can expect to see more of me again. I'm all caught up on my friends list, but haven't been commenting. Sorry! More comments in future. It feels good to be connected again and able to turn on the TV just for some noise and know that when I talk to my parents on the phone it won't rack up ridiculous long distance charges. Also, Skype!
Still settling in here. Classes start on Monday. I'm not sure how I feel about this place. Being surrounded by incredibly loud and rambunctious partying undergrads isn't really my idea of a good time, but it can't last forever. We'll see how I feel about things once school gets going. I will give it a good shot.
I have sewing news, actually. Even though it has mostly been too hot to move here, especially without air conditioning, it cooled down a bit and I cut out most of my 1895 petticoat (minus flounce and facing). I had a bad moment when I realized I made a bone-headed math error and cut out the gores with a hem about half of what they needed to be. So I put it away for another day. I was pretty upset even though I had enough to re-cut because I was wasting a metre of fabric. But I came up with a less wasteful solution: still using the front gored panel, but with a new side panel. This gives me the hem circumference that I need without re-cutting everything. I'll use the already cut out wrong bits for bias facings. Should be alright.
