I found the bag of summer clothes (helpfully labelled fit in Summer 2019). Sadly I am fatter, particularly round the tummy (Menopause + lockdown eating).

So looks like I do need some new summer crops/trousers and etc. Hmm

I've just cut out a pair of summer trousers - viscose, I've had the fabric a while ;)

I was chatting with a friend the other day.  It seems that all fabric has shrunk during lockdown.  I don’t remember this being one of the symptoms of Covid 19 but perhaps we ought to alert the authorities.

I made and wore my floral fabric trousers.
Loved them, though discovered part way through the day I was wearing them with a painting t shirt that had got in the wrong drawer. Which slightly spoilt the look.
(I destroy clothes when doing painting, gluing, gardening etc, so I have a special place for a few bobbly, painty things which I try to remember to wear next time).
So actually I now need a new navy jersey top to replaced the destroyed one.
