We didn't get very far did we?

It's half term, which of course means I have a horrible cold as I do every holiday!  Eldest daughter came round yesterday and took pity on me.  I like daughters that no longer live at home as they realise what it is like when you are feeling ill yet you still have to do all those household chores to do.  She made me coffee and some cheese on toast and I admit I did feel a bit better.

Our planned day of sewing didn't go quite as well as it could have done, she got this far;

Maybe we should be impressed that she managed to cut it out as I kept pinning on and unpinning youngest daughters pattern as I kept getting it wrong!  We decided to call it a day as the chances were my non-working brain would ruin the whole thing.

I managed to get this far with the green satin;

which is probably very deceptive as I have to take in the sides and the shoulders and can't be bothered to unpick it all at the moment :(

Suffering as I am from a brain that is refusing to cooperate I have decided that this is not the time to be making something that requires proper fit and construction!

Both bodices are therefore going away until we both have another day when I am more up to it.

However, I refuse to waste my holiday and not do any sewing and, as I have the bodice pattern all out and ready, I will get out my pile of pink and blue stuff and cut out some of them for the chorus bodices I have planned.  They will not be lined and there is no issue of them fitting exactly as they will have some kind of lacing so they will all be multi-sized, so I can do a bit of bish, bash, bosh on them which I am hoping sickly brain can cope with and keep sewing addict me happy.

Oh I hate feeling ill as it always ruins all those great plans :(
