The 1950's disaster project, a pair of pink silk knickers, remained faithfull to it's name. When it was nearly finished I found out that it was just a little bit too small. I gained some weight during the holiday season and I haven't been able to lose it. The problem can be fixed by letting the knickers out. Which is a lot of work and I'd rather lose the weight.
