Let’s Talk Sleeves

 Man oh man, sleeves!!! Honestly it’s not super horrible. As long as you keep it in line and it doesn’t slip when you begin your sewing around the seams. If it does then the sleeve just looks all wackadoodle. Yeah....me and the seam ripper are BESTIES!! Ha! One thing I learned is I am just not a pin girl. For some that’s what they prefer but I love these clips. Much easier for me to work with, keeps my sleeve in line when attaching to the main part of the top and I don’t get nearly as many injuries from the clips as I did pins. Yes....blood has been shed. 

It had me thinking today while sewing about my dieting journey. I’ve done this before. In fact, the last time I did a real diet I lost more than 60 pounds. I felt fabulous! But I must admit there were some days that I was completely miserable. This time I decided to try something different. So I joined weight watchers. And the cool thing about this plan is that if you slip....the plan has points (seam rippers) in place to catch you and get you lined back up. I think this one is going to work for me. I’m on day 7 so we will see as the journey goes. There are SO many diet plans out there guys. If you’ve been considering getting back into a healthy lifestyle but feel overwhelmed by the restrictions just keep in mind there are so many options (like the pins or clips) to choose from. And if you need an accountability buddy let me know!!! I can always use another one.
