My digital camera is broken. I have procrastinated the fixing of it for no good reason.
I could chat you up about all of the stuff I’ve been making. I finished Sonar X5’s Ravenclaw-ish socks. Started a pair of ballet slippers for me. And have worked nearly a foot of the red mohair scarf. I’ve recently decimated the mending pile, made a pair of shorts (also for Sonar X5), and will today cut fabric on a dress for me (Simplicity 3877, the sleeveless v-neck style).
But there is nothing more boring than crafty chat with no pictures. I can tell you about the fabulous floral print for the dress, with it’s splashy combination of orange and red and hot pink, but without a picture to catch your attention, to show you just how yummy it is, well… *sigh* It’s not even any fun to write about without the pictures.
Ok, so, actually, I do have a picture of the fabric (and my reading stack from last October). You may have seen it before. Halloween costumes must have intervened.
This fabric came from Hawaii, purchased by my grandmother, and shared begrudgingly a few years ago.
I will take 12 pattern pieces, cut no fewer than 30 separate bits of fabric, and magically assemble them into a smoking hot dress to wear—well, perhaps to the grocery store or the library? I hope I have enough fabric.
Now, I just need to clean the drying fennel blossoms off the sewing table. Either that or make a fennel-scented dress.
Licorice anyone?
