@drkknits Could have a look, stay the night, and take one home Sunday?

---

Wow. Shrink ray hit @tobysestate beans. Bags went from 250g to 200g. That’s kind of annoying.

---

Belt or no belt? No belt is more comfy. http://t.co/VosgSiFyT2

---

Thanks everyone! I’ve gone no belt for now, but stuffed it in my bag so I’ve got the option. 🙂

---

@RoseRed_Shoes The skinny one didn’t look great. I think I need some belt loops to keep it in place.

---

@RoseRed_Shoes I have a giant flower with little horses in it (the one I made last year) also in my bag. 🙂

---

@redambition I think the dress might need to be a little more fitted for that, as it ends up bunching around the belt.

---

Half the guys on the team wore suits, the other half did not. We’re teasing the latter.

---

@messicat Photo and location? I’m looking for some nice summer sandals.

---

First fitting. Hmm. The top is good, but I need some more room in the hips. Goodbye seam allowance… http://t.co/kwdp91Bnfs

---

@RoseRed_Shoes I got it at Frabric-a-Brac last year. No idea what it is other than cotton, but it seemed right for 1973 pattern!

---

Adding sleeves… Nearly finished! http://t.co/kRCEVZIwRg

---

The annoying thing is, I think this may be technically the best garment I’ve sewn. No bodges so far! But I worry it might be ugly?

---

It’s that center front seam, I think. It’s just so obviously from a different style era. I think I just can’t get past it.

---

@zephyrama A gift from my step-mom. Published 1973! http://t.co/GZ5HAc9ctv

---

@drkknits @randomknits It’s a skimming a-line, but my pot belly sticks way out and ruins shape. I think Spanx may need to be deployed.

---

@zephyrama The accompanying leaflet on how to disguise your chubbiness is a hoot too. 🙂

---

@zephyrama I’ll blog it when I’m done.

---

Hem length: above the knee? I’m inclined. (But this belt is squeezing my SPLEEN.) http://t.co/E4Risy0QKT

---

@drkknits Rodd said any shorter and I’m into Austin Powers territory.

---

@RoseRed_Shoes I have a thin black belt too, which looks more modern. We’ll have to have styling discussion tomorrow. 🙂

---

@knitterjp @drkknits Haha! Too bad; you’re gonna have to look at it Tuesday for Melb Cup work party!

---

@drkknits When you come to Sydney on Saturday, you could go play with some.

---

Adventures in Vintage Sewing: McCall’s 3609. A “Pounds-Thinner” pattern. Harrumph. We’ll see about that. http://t.co/I9Fkih78RJ

---

@drkknits I instantly started drooling.

---

@randomknits I nearly came to Campbelltown today. Snook found the outdoor setting I want there on Gumtree, but we missed out on it. 🙁

---

@redambition I was tossing up on gatecrashing. Rodd’s on call for entire weekend and pretty much can’t leave the house though. 🙁

---

@redambition I’m also not drinking this month, and You People Will Tempt Me. Hmmm….

---

@randomknits Way to go! But wait. I thought you tweeted yesterday that you weren’t enrolled or something?!

---

@nolim1t She would have to put it down for that to happen. 🙂

@knitterjp I’ve got Goonies on DVD! And we are so using that for the G milestone of Jump-in… cc @hoganau @didwa

---

@mikeefreedom No idea who it is, but clearly I need to stake it out and become friends with them. MAYBE I COULD RIDE IN THE SIDECAR!
