And in doing so, shows off Emmet, in a shirt that actually fits! Mom says this shirt fits him better than any he's ever had. Which made me think about sizing. See, the Emmet is a rather rotund, elven,(elf?) shaped man, or a taller version of a Hobbit, take your pick, and all of his extra around-ness is in the front. Across the back, shoot, he's probably a medium even. Same in the arms. So realizing this, I cut the shirt out accordingly. Hence, the best fitting shirt Emmet has even owned. According to his wife anyways. Perhaps I should actually ask him....
On to things completely textile unrelated....
I've been listening to the ipod all afternoon, whilst sewing away. (oh, see? can't say nuthin' without managing to mention textiles.) Listening to all kinds of music that makes me think of JPT. We started out with "Everything but the Girl", album of the same name. Which to this day is one of my favorites. I first heard it when we were roommates, back in 1988. Oh god. I'm OLD. And then we went into some early-ish Indigo Girls, or more specifically, the song "Ghost". Which always, always makes me thing of him. That album came out when we worked at the painted fabric place. We would listen to it, really loud, so that we could hear it over the fans, and sing along. Yeah well, the day we had to leave work early to go to Bill's funeral, Bill would have been a friend from fashion school who died from complications due to AIDS, "Ghost" came on and we both kind of lost it a little. So I tend to think of him when I hear it.
Didn't see that coming did 'ya?
Haven't been posting much lately, been busy with actual sewing jobs. Go figure. It's enough stuff to have me coming home from 8 hours of coffee to 4 hours of sewing. And then falling into bed. I say that like I haven't been on Ravelry at all. It's like crack for knitters. I think I may need an intervention and some sort of 12 step program. No really. I had to forcefully remove myself the yarn sale forum. I can't say no to Noro at 30%-40% off. It's just not possible. I am a weak person. Very weak. Don't ask about the sale linen I got two weeks ago.
Christ, this post is all over the place isn't it?
I am almost done with some curtains. They are going to look faaaabulouse! I will take pictures and post. 'cause I can do that now. There will be many, many really cute cat photos soon.
