As the weather is getting warmer and I anticipate my summer travels around the European continent, I have decided to make myself a long skirt. Shopping is notoriously difficult for me as I rarely find anything I actually like and, when I do, it rarely fits well. I haven't the heart to pay for alterations on something that isn't made well enough to last as a wardrobe solution.
I'll let you know how it goes and when it's finished. I just bought the fabric yesterday and the pattern the day before that. One of the M.Phil. students has a sewing machine so I will be waiting until I can borrow that to assemble it. That, of course, makes this whole idea more feasible. I cannot imagine myself actually finishing the project if I was sewing it by hand.
I have a scarf I started for Gabry for her birthday which is in a holding pattern until I get the extra skein of yarn I need for the tassels. It's a nice feeling to be working on little creative projects that, while not being completed, at least have a time-frame and plan for completion.
