Boring yet satisfying sewing project: modified this shirt to have short sleeves! It had long sleeves when I bought it nearly two years ago from Sportscraft, and it was ridiculously expensive. Then one day I was putting it on before work and the damn sleeve just ripped straight across at the cuff. ARGH. I threw it over the bed post and literally left it there for a year. I thought about removing the sleeves entirely but wisely decided to start by shortening. The Snook said it looked good, so I just folded and hemmed them. Shirt rescued!

Nearly there.
Withings Activité review: a slightly smarter watch | The Verge – I’ve been a happy Fitbit enthusiast for two years now, but this is getting pretty close to my Platonic ideal of a fitness tracking watch. Come on, Fitbit. I’m tired of wearing a silicone thing on my wrist. I’d like to look like a grown-up.

Not surprised.
Jay from the ‘Serial’ Podcast Is Ready to Talk; Rabia Chaudry Not Happy with the Ending – I love how he’s trying to position himself as on the side of Hae’s family, despite the fact that – regardless of who did it – he actually helped bury her and didn’t call the cops.

New dress: another Moneta!
I made myself a new dress! Still getting the hang of knits.
This is another Moneta made with a light jersey print I got at Fabric-a-brac earlier in the year. It was only a small off-cut and the print is directional, so I had to keep it simple. I didn’t put any collar on it, and I used some simple white cotton knit for the bodice lining and pockets. I still find the whole “shirring with clear elastic” thing really annoyingly difficult, so it’s a bit of a bodge. (Maybe the elastic I got at Spotlight isn’t the right stuff?) When I first attached the skirt and tried it on, the waist wasn’t hitting me in the right place. So I undid it and moved it up about 2 inches. The whole project took less than two days. It ended up being a nice little sundress!

@gilmae My problem is I am very, very impatient. I bet my games go a lot faster than yours. I dart in traffic. (Real life too.)
