Ee he he he he, it fits! I can't get the novelty lantern sleeve but I could get a belt.
Photo of a length of fabric on the floor with sewing pattern pieces for a skirt, bodice, short sleeve, and belt laid on top of it to see if they fit. And they do.

Gliding a pair of scissors through paper to cut it is just the! most satisfying! thing!

I love it.

I also feel very grown up and skilled when I do it.

Now. Have you ever looked at a spaghetti dish and gone: these fucks have left the angel hair to soak for six hours, look at it, it's bloated!

Because I have. Because I vastly prefer angel hair and reject standard girth spaghetti.

Speaking of, mask selfie at work! Here I am on break trying on my wearable mockup of the artist apron dress.

Fun fact!

Louie is such a soft boy that the last time he was handed to a vet tech she exclaimed in delight at how soft he was.

The fur around his neck and ears is of ultimate softness.

Oh yeah, I was profoundly not in the first wave (or two) - no home internet.

I do think single layer might juuust give me the advantage I need.

Oooh, so I'd thought about shortening the skirt to reduce its width but not pivoting the edge. Oh ho ho!

OR

I can change skirt and bodice patterns and do an entirely different make.

Maybe even revisit the Maria pattern.

OR
I can change skirt patterns and keep the wrap/apron bodice because it's the wrap skirt's overlaped part that consumes hecka fabric and a gathered or pleated rectangle would be a more efficent use of yardage.
