Hi everyone! It's been a while.

What have you gotten done? What are you working on? What do you need support with?

I cut out 2 pairs of fuzzy pajama pants! I designed some cargo pockets based on a Professor Pincushion video on YouTube. We'll see how those work out in flannel, lol. I also cut an emergency backup pair of side seam pockets from calico, in almost-coordinating fabric.

I have started construction on the prototype A-line skirt of doooooooom. I love how BurdaStyle puts "interfacing" on the packet in 8 languages, and then they just use a picture for piping tape like I’m supposed to know what that is.

By a ridiculous stroke of luck, I got the book "Cool Couture" for Christmas. Chapter 4 is all about piping! I made 2 piped pockets and I almost feel like I know what I'm doing.

Needless to say I am also designing a cross stitch project because why wouldn't I. I want to stitch a cute patch for the front of my notebook of sewing notes. In my enormous stash I've found a set of fashion plates from various decades that are exactly the right size to add some text to. Hmm, 1940s recolored to purple, or 1960s... decisions, decisions...

oh jeez, other peoples' assumptions about what does & doesn't need explanations are sure a thing (including mine, tbf, I'm often surprised how much most people DON'T know about history??)

POCKETS. pockets are GOOD. I need to make a vest with POCKETS.
