So much to choose from

In six weeks and four days time (I’m not counting……) we’re off on a cruise again. Yippee !!!!

Normally when it comes to packing I would simply load the case up with the summer tops I’d made previously. Thanks to Boots, not this time however (see June 20^th 2011 ‘Bootiful’ blog).

I’ve already bought the fabric to replace the damaged tops but have decided for this year only not to make any.

As I’ve got a stomach that the Michelin Man would be proud of, I’m going to have to re-design the pattern I use for the tops to allow for this. Because my aim is to reduce my spare tyre I thought I’d just buy some tops for this year and keep the fabric for when I’ve (hopefully) got a flatter tum.

We went to the Metro Centre yesterday to do some holiday shopping and all I thought I had to do was go into M&S and BHS and I’d come away with all the tops I needed.

Shake of head.

I came away with one. Ok, I did buy another two but they were t-shirts so that didn’t count….

Tomorrow we’re off to Matalan to see if I can find anything there, however I’m not hopefully.

The problem is I find shopping for clothes terrifying. I’ve no idea what clothes suites me as I permanently live in joggers and baggy t-shirts. There’s so much to choose from that after a while they all start to look the same.

I suspect that I may be having to get my sewing machine out after all !!!!
