Reboot 2.0

I'm baaccckkkk!!!!!  So quick update.  My temp job ran out but I got a new one at a department store doing actual retail. Yay!  The only downside is it doesn't pay as much and I have no idea how much vacation time I get each year.  And apparently no one at work knows either...Mm?  So it's gong to be a long long time before I can travel anywhere.  I even had to pull out of plans to book on a Royal Caribbean inaugural cruise for next year because it was around Thanksgiving.  And a cardinal sin in retail is taking a vacation during the Christmas holiday shopping season.  

So since I have a little more spare time now while still earning a paycheck, I'm going to devote the next year to getting in shape and creating a new travel friendly wardrobe.  And with a little more intent on plus size DIY's.  No set schedule because let's face it, I don't update.  I'm just going to write and take pics of my DIY projects as they come.  I did get a few new books to help me in my journey.  

The first of which is 'Little Green Dresses' by Tina Sparkles.  It's a book that introduces beginner's to sewing techniques while advancing any sewer's skill level.  I'm really excited about it because it has really nice illustrations for pattern drafting that shows the process step by step.  I've been in love with pattern drafting since college.  It's a great technique for a plus size designer because it's a custom fit.  So stay tuned!
