I too opted for nye at home. I worked all day. Came home and meditated. Had a light dinner and am watch The Big Bang Theory marathon. I think it'll be over before midnight so I'll have to switch to Psych. Either way I'll get in tons of giggles. If I last til midnight fine, if not I don't care =)

I kinda taught myself to sew. My mom sewed a lot when I was growing up, but she never really taught me. I just picked up stuff from watching her. I spent forever trying to figure out the instructions on the pleats in this dress. I got really frustrated, but eventually figured it out. At least I hope I did. The thing is that if you do one thing wrong, it can mess everything else up.
One thing NOT to do if you're home alone on New Years is check facebook. The woman I always go out with posted about having "a great time with friends" an hour or so ago. Gee, thanks for inviting me! She invited me to her kid's birthday party tomorrow and I've only met him once. But not tonight? And this is the friend who gets really whiney if she doesn't get invited somewhere. Not that I'd want to hang out with whoever she's with, but an invitation would be nice!
Okay... Gotta get back to that dress while watching AA vs PMS!
I dunno about that whiny chick. Every time you mention her I get the feeling you've outgrown that friendship, but at the same time I totally get how hard it is to make gal pals that will actually find the time to get together. Although it is nearly 2012 it certainly wouldn't hurt to try a few new things with the hopes of expanding your lady friend circle. I'm certainly going to give it another go.

I can say that I've met many of her friends and she's less dramatic than most of them. She's obviously grown up in that environment, so it's what she knows. Since we've become friends, she has mellowed out a lot. Now if I can get her to realize that she isn't the center of everyone else's issues, we might just be good.
On to the zipper... My next big obstacle!
I wasn't feeling that sad last night about being home alone on NYE--I'm feeling a little sad today.
Oh and I forgot to add that when my DD was little, I made her a lot of dresses--making clothes for a child is a lot less time consuming.
The zipper was way easier than I thought it would be. However, the directions told me to place it too low, I think. I got to a point where things weren't matching up last night and then I quit. I don't think these directions were written very well because there were a couple of spots that just didn't make sense. So far I've only bought cheap patterns so I've been limited, but I might try a jumper when I'm done with the two I have. That sounds a lot easier! I also want to go through my mom's old patterns because she made a couple of dresses for us when we were kids that I'd like to make for the baby. They are all in the back of a very full shed, though, so that would definitely be an undertaking.
oh; sorry
I guess we can't reply to all anymore, huh.
Shy, in college I worked for the costuming department for the theatre.
