I started on my partner’s Valentine’s Day present (may have been too ambitious, second time working with leather).

11. The day before, I worked on changing the sleeves on one of the patterns #ME2104. Drafted a placket based on the the Making and Candor blog.

6. I did all that work matching the pattern, to discover that I hated how the top most pocket in the pocket stack looks. Removed. Also sewed the collar, the collar stand, and started attaching hem facings.

4. While I prep my fabric, here is one of the patterns I will be using: Doe and Deer Fougere. I first made this overshirt 2 ish years ago, made a toile and never made a real one. I wear the toile all the time though!

3. Here’s what I got. The striped olive and plain olive broadcloth fabrics are what I will be working with for my two shirts. The black and white checkered number will be patches on a chore coat, possibly. The plain white is light weight tight weave that I will use for pocketing on future projects.

Two shirts in tandem, from start to finish.
1. Fabric shopping at a dead stock fabric store. I usually get overwhelmed in here from having too many options and spend an hour and a half picking out 4-5 fabrics.

My dog gets compliments from strangers on her training that she doesn’t deserve, imo. Like she needs two leashes, as per trainer recommendation, because she is such a flight risk. I don’t think you would say nice things about my manners if you saw me walking around with two ankle monitors.

I started sewing this blazer the Sunday before Election Day. It stopped being an enjoyable project like 20 sleeps ago.

I don’t know if this is the “right” way to repair something waterproof but it looks halfway decent at least.
I thrifted this poncho maybe 7 years back so I am also downgrading it from “waterproof” to “water resistant”.
