#aloha!

Thank you so much to @thewholelemon, @artsyunderstudy, @hushed-chorus, @bookish-bogwitch, @that-disabled-princess, @monbons, @you-remind-me-of-the-babe & everyone who's tagged me in the last week!

I survived Peter Pan! The sewing marathon that was making those three dresses was enough to take me out of commission for a few days. It's a new week and I'm back! I'm definitely on Sleeve Island at the moment, there's something about the smaller circumference that's killing my motivation.

Speaking of islands, this project will have to go on hold for a bit because I'm going on vacation and I need a smaller project for traveling. I'm leaning towards the My Little Secret Crop from Jessie Maed Designs; I've made it a few times and it's a simple tube for most of it.

And in a move that should surprise no one, I'm also doing some pre-vacation sewing. I have three swimsuits cut out and partially sewn. I find that making my own swimsuits is really empowering! It gets me out of my own head about my measurements and reframes it as data that's necessary for making something that'll fit. The first time I made a swimsuit, it turned out that I was a whole size off from what I thought I'd be after measuring myself. If I was in a store, it would have been devastating; but making it myself, it was just more information to help me. It's also a fast project, it only takes about an hour or two!
