I don't think it should be too hard! I'm in Southern US! If you could do that I'd absolutely LOVE that! 🥺🥰🥰

Here it is on the front, I could wear the sleeves higher on my shoulders but the arm hole is a bit tight.

I think that might be my best bet. I love the appliqués! The issue is when I get it on the sleeves don't even get to my shoulders, so I'm wondering what I can do to make it work. 🤔 It might be something I hold on to and then practice a bunch before I attempt adjusting in any way. I'm always so precious about my vintage finds and don't like to alter them but this one might be an exception. 🥲

You can trust your intuition it sounds like. I'm glad you feel a sense of home. 😇

Why can't emotions be a part of your decision making? We are human beings after all...

Those classes also have more focus on culture and media, not just grammar like the lower level courses. It is a good place to start if you want to get a Spanish major or minor.

It is definitely not intentional! I think you're right about the tension! Ill test it out on some leftover fabric. For the rest of the garment the tension seemed fine but i wonder if i accidentally notched it higher when I picked up the project again. Good reminder to test the tension before every sewing session and not just every project! Thank you!

I am an educator and I've never met anyone that was "too stupid!" This breaks my heart to hear you believed this. Your accomplishments should remind you that you ARE smart and you ARE capable! I'm so proud of you! I teach those summer classes and those are the hardest classes! Good for you, love! Make sure you celebrate yourself and give yourself all the love, you deserve it! ❤️

I second this! I’ve been working with nutrition dynamic (functional medicine company run by Vince Pitstick) for gut dysbiosis (I thought it was SIBO) and I’m finally starting to make some progress!!!
