contretemps
i thought, if i manage to cut out the fabric by the time you arrive, then maybe your very presence would be the kick in the butt i require to move on with this. i got the children and husbands all out of the house, put on some nice music. finally finished unraveling the coat, and got all my paper bits ready. and guess what? they don't fit!!!!! i have tried out all mathematical combinations. i don't understand how it's possible that a child-coat size 98 does not fit into a woman-size coat size 40, but there it is. what now? a) finding the same coat in the kringloop? (odds rather low) b) finding another coat of similar texture and making it a two-colour affair? (odds rather low because weight of fabric would have to be extremely similar) c) forgetting about old coat and getting other fabric? (yes, but not allowed, unless at kringloop, so odds rather low especially since only a few days left) d) give up and think of today's afternoon as an afternoon of listening to nice music?
