It's the weekend again! How'd that happen so fast?

What have you gotten done? What do you want to share? What are you working on now?

I have been pecking at the Fabulous Women in History mega cross stitch. I've just started row 3 (of 3!). I'm stitching on linen and I have it in a big scroll frame. The fabric is SO pulled out of shape. I spent probably 20 minutes rejiggering the piece in the frame and 10 minutes actually stitching.

I've attacked the Evil Stretch V-neck again. I seem to have more (and bigger) scraps than I'd thought. Today I cut some strips to do a test run of the cheating overlap one... and then the power went out! It was light enough to finish cutting but I couldn't press them. Sigh. Happily Monday is a holiday where I live so I have 2 more days of weekend to try again. (Even better, the power came back before sunset.)

I'm analyzing what clothes actually look good on me, and also considering doing alterations and embellishments as a compromise between buying ready-to-wear (at the mercy of the marketplace) and sewing my own (which realistically very little of this is going to happen). I have a bunch of boxy Hawaiian shirts that I may use for practicing tailoring.

My mom makes her own clothes and it's incredibly time consuming. Tailoring is def the way to go!
