Sewing for others
Feb. 12th, 2016 09:36 pmWinter teased me a bit by going away and then coming back again. It's only a couple of degrees at night now, and I'm glad I didn't get around to putting away my winter coat - I will probably need it tomorrow.
Crafting is going slowly. I haven't touched the wedding cushion for a few weeks - I busy helping a workmate for her upcoming wedding. Nothing too elaborate or time consuming: just taking up the hem of her dress and making a sash out of the offcuts. The fabric is a bit flimsy, so the sash (as it will be in eyesight of everybody, as opposed to the hemline) will have to be sewn by hand. A bit tedious, but at least I can turn off my brain while doing it.
Next Thamesreach revel is costume and sewing themed, and I have a plan: I need to make new hose, and this time I want to try In Deme Jare Christi's tutorial. I should have some wool suitable for hose somewhere in the stash, and I definitely have cotton for the toile. With any luck I will have nice hose for the summer revels and events.
