Today, I rummaged through my clothes-I-no-longer-wear-but-want-to-keep stash and actually took out 15 pieces :)
I gave them away. That is today's first good news.
Second, I found a skirt from the nineties that I loved--and still love, from the stash. And... it fit again!
(Surprisingly--despite the fact that I had been binge eating the past three days. And that I had a buffet dinner yesterday. I do know that if I keep on this, in less than a week's time, the skirt will be back in the stash.)
I did notice a hole near the pocket of the skirt upon inspection, the lining was in tact though.
So that brought about the third good news. I did some slight sewing today :)
Wohoooo!

I admit it took me more time to set up my machine than do the mending, but it felt good. It felt right.

It had been a while since I put out my sewing machine. And while I constantly think about sewing I find myself procrastinating. I even sold out and had a couple of pants shortened by a professional. Even if things like these cost more than the taxes on the items where I live.
Yes. Really.

I realised how much I really enjoy sewing.
I honestly don't know where to begin (again), but I know that next time something needs altering, I won't we paying professional fees.
