very close!
So I just realized I hadn’t updated about this dress for a long time. I have, however, been working on it quite steadily. Is it more dramatic when I take photos along the way or just suddenly appear with a nearly finished garment? In any case, it is nearly done, just a few stitches inside …

Paul and I went on a trip to help my sister pick out her wedding dress. I had a great time seeing everybody and being a part of the preparations of the wedding. We took a bunch of pictures but I forgot my camera at home ( and my address book, my color swatches) so the pictures are all on …

Last weekend I made finished this skirt. It is just a simple tube, with a slit. The waistband is elastic. It is actually made out of a ribbed knit fabric I got a couple years back on clearance for two dollars a yard. I found that it has a tendency to stick to nylons and then twist. …
