Now I recall with a sudden rush of excitement how I tried when I was young to sew wearable garments for myself. I was only very mildly sucessful and only if I used what were then called "jiffy" patterns. It was always a misnomer, as I spent endless hours adjusting, just as you have. At any rate, now and then I achieved modest goals and made things I couldn't find in stores. (It was long before the invention of "petite" clothing departments. Finally I discoverd in my town of Bethesda (which means "Pool of healing waters,") a small shop that carried only Hawaiian clothing. I was so happy to be able to purchase ready-made garments for the very small in stature adult women. Of course, I generally appeared dressed as for a luau, but that was okay me, as I did actually own and play a ukelele, and did know how to do an acceptable hula, although I am not Hawaiian. Thanks for sharing your sewing adventures. I receive much vicarious pleasure. I loved reading about and seeing all of the various manuvers you had to gyrate through to achieve your goals.
