Well, well, fitting, we meet again.
Last time I left you I'd made some progress but I still had a nasty sway back to deal with. Get ready to see lots of pictures of me in a bed sheet!

| The dastardly sway back |
Since then, I've added width to the back by slashing and spreading at the hem on each side, because it wasn't going over my bum properly.
Then, it was time to tackle the sway-back. Again, I was pretty overwhelmed. But I am still trying! Here are the results of my sway back experiments.
First I pinned out some above the waist:
 |
| Well, disgusting. |
As you can see it gave a lovely tented look which made me look pregnant. Next!
Then I pinned underneath the waistline, but I took too much out:
 |
| The hem is too high in the back, but at least I have shape! |
Okay, at this point I caved and asked
In House Patterns' Alexandra for help- she was so lovely to help me AGAIN! So I pinned less out ON the waistline:
 |
| Alright, not bad, a bit rumply though! |
Now I'm not sure this is kosher, but here's my latest experiment, pinning out a bit BELOW that as well!
 |
| Is this anything? |
As you can see the hem is still higher in the back, but I think that length gets added back in in the sway back adjustment.....
So, I'm still wondering what exactly to do, but I'm slowly getting there... maybe!
Now, to cheer myself up from all this struggle, here is something I didn't mess up!
I've been practicing my crochet skills with scrap yarn- I made these for practice using
this free pattern.

| Hearts can't have swaybacks, yay! |
Well, if anyone has any insights, do let me know! I appreciate the awesome feedback and support from the web that I've gotten! You guys are the best :)
