New waist

(1987) It's tea time and I write as I sip my tea. .... Have you heard the joke about the cold Irish man whose feet were cold at night so he cut off his blanket on top and sewed it on the bottom? I was thinking of him when I altered some sapphire slacks which I cut off on the bottom and sewed the pieces on the top for a new waistband because the original was nearly 2" wide, sewn 6 X with elastic - so hard and tough, I knew I could not stand it!
