Eleni and I are carrying on with Lisa’s #NeoVictorianBlouse. Sleeves are basted on and the gathering at the caps is looking nice and even. #sewing #ElfkinCouture

I hate to see fabric scraps go landfill, so when a kindergarten teacher asked me for some, a few years ago, I overdid it with several big bags, I've been giving them to kindergarten ever since. I dropped a bag off this morning. Reuse! It is much easier to decide if a scrap is worth keeping, when you know it is moving to another artist.

Some new #sashiko on my trousers. The water-erasable ink has almost gone 😄

Nick’s #PinstripeTrousers are getting some love this afternoon. The back pockets are about to be stitched and slashed. For a fresh perspective, I’m following Antoine & Cabrera to the letter on this make. It’s definitely different from how my mentors taught me when it comes to welted pockets! #sewing #fashion #ElfkinCouture
ok, so yes, my dog and i DO have matching clothes, stop asking me about it!! ( 😣 no one asked)
In sewing land, did finish the green skirt the other day. Which day? Unknown, time is a soup and I was very tired.
Just slapped some herringbone linen tape on the once turned hem to finish it, then topstitched along one edge of the tape and then a distance from the skirt hem. Good enough!
Sie ist fertig 🤩 ich könnte nicht zufriedener sein. Und sie ist schön kuschelig, da geht man dann gerne auch bei dieser Kälte vor die Tür.

I’ve really been relying on Headless Eleni (adjustable dressform) as I close up and finish Lisa’s #NeoVictorianBlouse. What an enlightening experience! Like going from just being able to test code in a debugger to having an actual staging environment. My only regret is that I waited so long to acquire it. #sewing
The pajama pants I sewed out of old 100% Egyptian Cotton (garage sale!!) sheets (and also, the shirt I sewed out of similar sheets) are the most comfortable clothing I own. Highly recommended. LOL. #sewing
Finished a thing. #sewing
Finally got around to making this dress larger! Once upon a time I fit into the largest size of kids clothing, but that was ten years and two cup sizes ago. 😅
I didn't have enough pink to use for both the sleeves and the sides like I would have wanted, but this way I got to use up some jersey scraps.
