ok change of plans. got a pair of crushed velvet wide leg hot fuchsia pants in the mail yesterday that i'd ordered off depop and despaired of getting in time that actually fit fantastically (slightly too big in the waist but nbd) but are too long so i'm biting the bullet and scheduling sewing studio time at my old job (fabric & yarn store) so i can hem them myself and we're scrapping the black sparkly pants idea. the rest of my sequin appliques for my jacket are also supposed to come in the mail today so i booked extra time on the machines so i can hopefully get some of those nailed down which will save me SO much time from hand sewing. plus i'll have hot irons and big tables and feedback from my old coworkers who will tell me if there's any easy way i can bring in the waist on the pants without ruining my life and might let me use the huge back studio by myself if i ask nice. also there's sergers there. TOMORROW!

#i feel really good about this i'm glad i'm doing it this way #i'd thought about it earlier but thought it would be too much hassle to have to go there and do things and pay money #but it will really save me so much time to use a machine. and not work on my tiny desk #if i really want to i can also buy iron-on backing and just iron on the appliques while i'm there with their irons #it'll really just make so much of this so much easier. and it's not even that expensive. AND i have store credit #so really it's free. #chatpost #i'm actually amazed how well the pants fit btw bc it's a brand i've never tried before and somehow they're almost perfect #obviously way too long bc i'm short but i'm very impressed how high the waist is bc usually i like extra high & these are. nice #and even if in the end i decide to do the black pants i'll have these for something else later. they're very cool
