Jul. 15th, 2023 09:05 pm1) I am on vacation! My parents are on a trip to Scotland to celebrate my dad's retirement - they're going to be gone till the end of July and I have taken the first week of their trip off. I will be doing nothing but reading and crafts and solo games and napping until next Monday. I'm very excited.
2) Speaking of crafts, I have finished my dress! Using my absurd BBC radio Sherlock Holmes tracking system, it took me from the beginning of STUD to the end of CROO to sew, which works out to a little over 17 hours in total - not bad at all, really. It's my first major handsewing project, so there's definitely room for improvement, but it's comfortable and looks pretty good and I'm quite pleased with it. Now I just have to wash it (to get rid of the copious marks I made all over it with water-soluble marker) and press it and it will be ready to wear!
3) I already have fabric for my next sewing project, which is going to be the Forager Vest from Sew Liberated. Mostly because it has pockets big enough to stick a whole knitting project and a loaf of bread in and that's clearly something I need in my life. I may end up embroidering the pockets - I haven't decided yet. I will do the cutting tomorrow and possibly finish it by the end of vacation as well.
