Oh, Motherhood.
I know I should be able to drop the baby weight: get back at sweaty exercise and continue to eat right. But, getting back to sweaty exercise has been a challenge.... Everyday, I don't get on the elliptical, I do haul my buns the 4,000 steps to daycare and back, but I barely break a sweat!
So - here I stand (okay, sit) typing and not sweating.
So - I am faced with trying to create a summer wardrobe that fits - and my pants patterns are challenging me.
[whiney whine]
this month I have been trying to get my buns into a pair of shorts. Muslin 2 nearly crushed my spirit:
The little 2 inch waistband was not finishing these off
(hey, like how I maintain my sense of decency by waving the shorts around in that .gif?)
That muslin was the result of following Nancy Zieman's Fitting Finesse step by step.
Okay - step by step, 20 minutes at a time with the baby calling out for me from the main floor.
I strongly suspect I swapped my front and back adjustments... the crotch is just weird.
I suspect that the hip curve calculation was reversed too - maybe I was supposed to add an inch instead of subtract....[LOL]
So - I started over, and used the Oblander and Zieman pivot and slide technique again - only, I went by intuition and
and I am basting the back and side today.... fingers crossed!
