I was sick for a while, and am now returning to my normal self. Over the summer, I had an autoimmune condition that caused my body to attack its own muscle tissue. As you can imagine, this presented a lot of problems and I couldn't do much of anything. I don't recommend it as a way to lose weight, though it is quite effective!
Right now I am just bookmarking a note to myself on how to shrink a pattern. I sewed up a test muslin of Vogue 2241 in size 8, which of course, is the smallest size available and too big at the same time.
