We made it through! I admit that the days of  Mercury Retrograde leave me feeling a bit held back.  As a result I chanced initiating a new sewing project on the fly.  I jokingly call myself a couturier sewer (really I am not) and enjoyed making alterations to a pattern to make it perfect.  Overly confident, i did not bother doing a fitting because i was so sure the skirt would fit.  Went to the trouble of partially lining it (first mistake) and then doing French seams (no going back!).  Astonished to find (boo hoo) it is too small.   Lesson - don't start new projects during Mercury retrograde.  

On the other hand I have a new motivation to lose the next 5lbs, so that I can enjoy a designer skirt I made myself for under $20!  (Mercury loves a bargain apparently)  and perhaps that is the alignment i needed!
