Slowly, slowly, clearing up the projects
This week it feels like I have been discovering more projects than I have been finishing. When I cleaned out under my bed, I discovered a bag that needed a new drawstring, so I braided a new one using some wool that I really should just get rid of (I may, yet). Then my daughter handed me her bed sheet with still more holes worn through. I have no idea how she does that! But it is all mended now. Friends organized a paint evening that I joined for a bit to work on a calligraphy and illumination project I had started for an on-line course months ago. I figured out what I wanted to do, found all my paints and calligraphy ink, then remembered I have another illumination project out in my sun-room. Ah well; that can wait for another evening. And while searching for fabric for masks last week, I came across a piece of hand-woven fabric from Guatemala that has been sitting in my stash waiting to be made into something for over 15 years. I decided to make it into something very loosely inspired by 1920s jackets such as this one from the Victoria and Albert Museum:
Now that I have a picture rather than just a vague memory of how the are put together, I may unstitch mine and try again. Or I may just leae it as is, because it is pretty comfortable. As it is heavy cotton, it has weight but doesn’t retain too much heat.
