I just completed my 3rd week in a row without a solid day of rest... I woke up and my body decided today was the day for rest.
Back to it tomorrow.
Hurrah.

My first buttonholes of the semester. We will see what feedback I get. I'd guess I'm still using too much tension, and regulating it poorly on the eye.
2 down, 20 to go.

I spent my energy today doing things in balcony garden.
My aloe (Big Mama, Little Mama, and Baby) got thinned out, and I repotted Big Mama, Who has given me blooms 4 years in a row, and who I grew from a 4" ikea plant.
Of the plants pictured, I purchased only 3. The rest I grew from cuttings.

I've made 3 variations for my bodice sloper.
Both back and front.
And now I am going to attempt some weird diagonal pattern matching on my next smock-dress.
Probably less smock and more jumper?
Yes. That is the shape of dart that fits my bust.
Wheeee!!!!

If you're teetering on the edge between needing escapism and wanting to feel engaged, might I reccommend 2 books for you in these trying times.
The Free People's Village - Sim Kern @simkern.bsky.social
Blood Over Bright Haven - M. L. Wang
Both deal with resistance in unique ways.

In other news, I've been a pattern-drafting fiend.
- Trouser Block
- Bodice Block (with 3 variations for bust darts)
- Waistcoat first draft
- Blouse first draft
- smock dress (I've made the first sample. Tweaks are incoming)
It's been very freeing to focus on something productive.

It's Black History Month! Do your part and learn something new about Black History and how America was shaped by the African Diaspora here.
