Especially for replyhazy

I'm traveling next week, so this week I'm making a purse for my mother (who is going abroad this summer for the first time in her adult life) similar to the one I made for myself for traveling. I'm making myself a pair of pants. Maybe I'm making two pairs of pants, because it's summer, and I'm a different size from last summer, dammit, and all the pants in stores are intended for bodies shaped differently from the one I have.

I'm thinking about your usual sewing project load, replyhazy, and I'm thinking that here I am, doing just what you so often find yourself doing, and I hope I can triage when I need to.
