Somehow between fitting DGD for the green vest *yesterday* (using the satin lining as a toile) and again today before putting needle to velveteen, she grew 1/2" longer in the CF. I suppose it's possible the steam pressing shrank the cotton velveteen by that much. :-( Fortunately, I have plenty of fabric, so I'll re-cut the front and side front. Sure glad I checked before putting more work into it.
However, I do have two more shirts finished, and everything I want to take is clean and pressed. And the Slinky arrived from denverfabrics.com a few minutes ago. It's in the washer on cool right now, so I should be able to get the dressy pants done for the trip. Now to start packing,
...culling,
...packing,

Beverly, who is determined to take only what is absolutely necessary. Yeah, right! ;-}
