The fabric had to age, mellow, ripen. That's it. Sewing is my least favorite of all the skills necessary to accomplish new clothing. Spinning? Love it. Dyeing? Yay! Weaving? Fun! I even like the washing and ironing part of finishing the fabrics.
Sewing? Not so much. Forced by circumstances (need new clothing), I have sewn. I prefer to speak of sewing in the past tense.
But these are done! Now I can wear them for the next 10 or so years, like the rest of my handwovens, until I fell compelled to sew again.
Also not quite new:
Someone is eleven months old! Where does the time go????
I think they're just my size. I'll be right over! :-)
ReplyDeleteBoth beautiful. They are so cute at 11 months.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful new threads! You need to give quilting a try. Straight stitching and plenty of ironing :-)
ReplyDeleteMarin is gorgeous! I hear you - time just keeps speeding along.
I don't know Sara you tell me. Mine are suddenly 13,12,9 and almost 6. I however are still 29. Which places me most interestingly 4 years younger than my youngest child.
