A new pile


Since the summer is no more, I have changed my priorities for the fabric pile, and put the yellow dresses back on the shelf. The pile now contains a jacket, a skirt, a dress (wedding dress rehearsal) and a petrol jersey dress (left from the previous pile). I still haven't solved the issue with the headless dragons but I've actually finished the red silk belt and made a trillion more tetraeds. 5 more to go, then I will be completely out of zippers. Then it is time to convert the leftovers to a qilted blanked for the bed. But that is another story.

Let's start with the jacket. I cut the pieces for the jacket quite a while ago (close to the time when I cut the fabric for the headless dragons). Fortunately, there are fabric left for the other collar pieces I need to cut as well. The hardest part is that the instructions are written in Greek. No, it is actually English, but it will still take me a while to figure it out. In the meanwhile, I can play Ferdinand and smell all the pretty flowers. I gave my pelargoniums some fertilizer a week ago you see... :)
