mmm...on top...
my green resist dye dashiki whose fraying seam allowances need work
new black pants for shortening
old black & tans striped pants for waist elastic
deep red shirt with loads of braid from a friend's trip to Greece to be
isasembled & cut down 2 sizes - without disturbing the braid!
a VERY odd black leatherette cropped jacket which Dear Hubby spotted in
second hand shop& INSISTED I must buy if it fit, "that's part of some
ostume, I know it, and you'll never find anything like it when you need
t" despite my policy of "NO NEW PROJECTS! Tanjd@mmit!" and his policy
f "No conventions, I want to do other vacations for a while!". So, why
o I need a costume piece I have NO glimmer of an inspiration for? To
o to the bottom of an at least 15 outfit list, for destinations that we
on't be going to for at least 5 years? <sigh>
and finally, Dear Hubby's pirate costume shirt from last Halloween,
hose cuff & buttons never got done when my buttonhole feature
evolted. (Praise the holy name of the saint who invented safety pins!)
Do the dozen knitted scarves in the basket in the laundry room count?
hey are the almost completed summer stash reduction project. How about
he basket full of clothes awaiting their dyebath? I gotta find a
rocery store with NONiodized salt for the dyebath. Pounds and Pounds
f it.!
And I have cleared at least 1 square meter of sewing room floor this
ast week!!!
Back to my mending!
