Busy work

I'd been hoping to get some sewing in last night or tonight. Didn't happen. It took far longer than anticipated to defrost my frozen leftovers for dinner once I got home from work around 8:15, and by the time I'd gotten that done and eaten, since I'd also had early work yesterday I was way too tired to even think about turning on the machine. So I just did a little bit of extra needed dissection on the blue shirt. So now I'm hoping for tomorrow afternoon on actually cutting out some new pieces and trying again.

I also decided I have way too many clothes (and yet I still want to make more!!) so I decided to pare things down a bit. For tonight's efforts, I got through all the shirts in my closet (which is all the winter stuff and 3/4 sleeved things). I'm getting rid of 14, and pulled out 14 more that have reconstructive potential (though I suppose I shouldn't count two of them, since one I bought at a thrift store with the intent of adding embellishment of some form because I love the cut and fit of it as is, and the second is one that I just want to alter to make it more flattering.) I still have a lot of shirts in there, but there's actually room to maneuver on the rack now. So next challenge is my pants. The side with the longer skirts could be a bit more of a challenge, because I can't see myself getting rid of many of them and that side also houses my costume collection. Which, no way am I getting rid of those. But still, not bad for a night's efforts.
