At the end of March I developed some crazy allergic reaction and my hands flared up so horribly I missed more than a week of work. It was very upsetting being unable to do anything for myself because both my hands were blistered and swollen over. I only got relief two weeks later when we headed to the emergency room at Toronto Western and they prescribed me with Prednisone. It's been a slow recovery so far, and unfortunately I had to drop my jewellery course at George Brown midway through the term, just as I was about to finish my silver box project (grr).
So, as my hands continue to slowly improve I've decided to temporarily set aside my jewellery tools and bring out the ol' Singer again. Sewing is much kinder on the hands than jewellery-making. Plus I have a few projects lined up already, starting with this cotton tunic/dress. Originally I had longer sleeves and a longer hem line but I started wondering if it was looking to 'granny-style conservative' so I snipped off a few inches. It instantly made the outfit look better.
