You might find it's sitting higher than before. I've also found that my thighs are more muscular and with these two things combined, I can't actually pull tight pants on as far as I could before so they don't zip up.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11274649006496918800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983143568219177072.post-58181352289730112862009-08-15T11:56:16.311-08:002009-08-15T11:56:16.311-08:00I'm sure with your figure the pants look great...I'm sure with your figure the pants look great, no matter where yoour butt is. :) <br /><br />When I first started running, it was my thighs that changed.

Hey, the sleeves will be perfect on the next one.<br /><br />Speaking as a middle aged person, be glad and appreciate the butt while you have it. It will disappear when you are older, and it leaves no cushion for sitting when you need it the most. Particularly on a thin person like yourself. Ouch, my 91 YO mother has no butt. If I were a nice enough and patient enough daughter, I would make her some custom pants, using two fronts instead of a front and back pattern. :-)meredithphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17683287411020125224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983143568219177072.post-18541798403575549782009-08-15T05:47:47.114-08:002009-08-15T05:47:47.114-08:00Good luck on Sunday!

And yes-your entire body is about to shift during the next decade,running or no running.Like tectonic plates-some great shifts,some not so great. As for the jacket-chalk it up to experience-you have already learned enough from the project and keep your sanity intact.I am all about the mental health and well being that my sewing provides...... :)JoanneMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983143568219177072.post-43477814312388423352009-08-15T02:28:57.897-08:002009-08-15T02:28:57.897-08:00Sorry about the pants, but I think you're righ...Sorry about the pants, but I think you're right on the money about things rearranging themselves in a couple months. I agree about the jacket, too, there's a point where you just say "Good enough!" and keep your sanity (and fabric) in check. I'm thinking that the success with the shirtdress is connected to the first week of school, because I am so exhausted that first week that my concentration is off, my stress is high, and my patience is shot. I'm sure it will all come together fine!

A...Hey - good to see you survived work this week. <br />About the pants, maybe adding a piece of bias fabric to the sides will add the extra you need and look pretty cool, too.<br />Tough one on the jacket but I support you in not tearing it apart - you are too far gone to go backwards now. I'll let you know how my sleeves go when I finally get back to working on mine.Paulettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04683033681892828851noreply@blogger.com
