Very silly NSV!

There was this pair of black stretch cord trousers I made a few years
back... Simple pull-on jobs with close fitting legs, a bit like
leggings (all the rage when I made them, even for fat broads!) They
always were a bit of a neat fit, but felt good. Eventually, I grew out
of them, and put them on one side to go to the charity shop. Then they
got tucked into a corner and forgotten about... I was doing a bit of
tidying of the heap that collects on the exercise bike (I am not quite
up to tackling that yet, but I can see it becoming a replacement for
walking on days I get a lift in the near future!), and I found the
trousers! I thought I'd just try them on one more time before they went
to the charity shop, but they ain't going yet! They are just right!
Whoo Hoo! In fact, they fit slightly better than when I made them! I
know I made them years ago, because they are done with the over-edge
stitch on the Viscount sewing machine, and I bought a Toyota
overlocker/serger not long after that. They have been sitting in the 'I
must remember to put those in the charity box' heap for about 3 years!
One day soon they WILL go to the charity shop, but because they are TOO
BIG not too small! I must try to wear them to my WW meeting on
Thursday.

WTG, Kate. What else is in your charity box? You might find some more good
clothes to wear.

Oh, nothing much! Did a charity run just a week or so back. There's a
dress that I tend to wander about in, looking for the way out... Fits
like a marquee these days! The dove grey one I made for my friend's
wedding last summer went to the charity shop a couple of weeks ago! I
ought to have kept it, as it was the trigger for the weight loss, but I
just couldn't bear to look at it! All that work making it, and I wore
it ONCE! Next thing to go will be my silk dress, but I might keep that
as a 'before and after' dress - much nicer than the grey one!

No I will NOT be taking it in! It's fully lined, I hate alterations,
and while it may be 100% silk, it cost less than £20 to make, and I have
worn it plenty of times (at least 3 Christmas parties and two New Year
celebrations, plus a couple of dinners and a hen night! Not bad for a
£16 remnant dress!). If you hit the URL below, you can find a picture
of me wearing it along with the sari jacket (also now way too big!).
I'm constantly amazed at the difference a 26 lb loss has made! It
doesn't seem like much compared to some folk here, but it is making a
big difference to me and my wardrobe!

A silly NSV is much better than none at all and this one is a clothing NSV
too! Congratulations! Enjoy them while you can!
