Colette Patterns’ Laurel: Fabric Preview and more muslin action.
The Lorax Setup.
The wind was a problem. It wasn’t big and gusty, just a persistent blowing that blew that screen right over. They tried to raise it a few times and then called for backup in the form of stakes.
Colette Patterns’ Laurel: Muslin. Fitting the back.
I’m pretty sure this was the first go-round with the muslin.
Back. It would behoove you to take note of how loose and floppy the back is, especially in the lower back area.
Pike Schemes found some good postcards.
Get it?
(Um, in retrospect, you might not get it if you are not familiar with the touchy nature the natives of Idaho’s capital city feel about the pronunciation of their city name. But for those of us in the know, it’s funny.)
Take your poet to work day.
I brought my favorite poet, Marge Piercy. Of course, one of her cats had to come along too.
I never saw anyone look at my display all day long. Alas.
(prompt) ends. Broadsheet Published.
I was quite happy with my (prompt) experience and in the future I will publish a few of the pieces I wrote during the class on the blog. In the meantime, thanks to Write Around Portland, my fellow class participants and especially Matt Blair, our instructor.
Postcard from WDC
Another good card, also not from Postcrossing, but from one half of Pike Schemes. I love Summer Sara.
Onto the next project: Colette Patterns’ Laurel Uniform Shirts!
I’ve mentioned the plan before and now that the Waste Not Napkins are done, I can officially launch into the Uniform project. Material has been bought, enough for three shirts, two dresses and two different aprons. Fitting DVDs have been watched. So I’m off now, tracing the pattern, ready for another sewing adventure.
I spy an STP finisher
I’m not at all in a long-distance bicycling portion of my life, but I think I will be again, someday. Which means someday I will complete the STP, just like this guy.
While I was waiting at the light, I could see hordes of other finishers crossing the intersection behind me, but by the time I got my camera the light had changed and I missed out on a great picture.
