So you know the old adage - Measure twice, cut once? Well, it's true for a lot of things, including sewing, and I did get new measurements on myself before I cut  out my suit last week. They were not that different from my measurements before, so I figured no big deal. I'd cut out the jacket per the pattern's instructions and then adjust the skirt as needed (hip width and length). No biggie.

Well, yesterday I had the suit 90% done and deciced to do a test fit and it didn't fit that great around the bust....what?!?! So I had my mom re-measure me and sure enough my bust measurement was differen than what I'd taken.. Hrm. I check the jacket ease and there was 5", so why was it barely fitting? Then mom asks when I stopped breastfeeding H. DOH! I stopped on Sunday. Mom goes - well that's it then. Don't do anything to the jacket until you've dried up or at least until you've shrunk back down to a normal size. My mom is a genius. So luckily there is still 3 weeks before the baptism which is hopefully enough time to return to normal, but if not I have 2 alternatives....scrap the belt and wear a cami underneath the jacket and just leave it open or make a blouse that matches and pair a cute mauve belt with it...I've done some thinking about this. Luckily, like I said, I have some time so hopefully I can go with plan A, but at least there is a B and C in the wings.

Well, I'm still working on my suit for the baptism, but I had some time today when I couldn't work on it (in other words, H was awake and not himself...he's teething. Cut his first tooth on Saturday) and while I had a few minutes I decided to do a quick art project.
