Spring is coming! ❤️ Aconite is my earliest flower in the garden. I love this sunny little buttercup, it brightens up an otherwise dull landscape!

Listening to old time radio shows, today! So soothing.

Endeavoring to sew a second muslin today. I hate this much fit work, especially on a simple dartless design. Sometimes you sew something repeatedly because it's a wardrobe staple and sometimes it's because you refuse to be beaten by a sewing pattern. 🧵🪡

Muslin pretty well finished. It's not perfect by any means. The Brother choked on the material so I had to use a vintage Kenmore for the buttonholes and this linen synthetic blend caused the needle to bounce. Gross. Lots of fit and design modifications required for the final project. Time to rest. 😴

Time to sew bias tape onto the armholes of this wearable muslin. Then onto sewing the hem, and then one of my most dreaded undertakings... buttonholes. 😬

Everytime I watch The Stepford Wives I feel the urge to write the sequel and then remind myself I have two dozen writing projects already on the backburner!

Doodling in my sketchbook today. Micro pen drawing of a quaint cottage.

This tie blouse from the 70's is so annoying. It gives me a 1 1/4 " space to knot the tie, which doesn't want to lay properly. Surprise, they want a small snap installed above the top button... clearly the designer knew this was an issue. Time to redesign this sewing pattern! Switching to a v neck.✂️

Easter decor is already at the Dollar Tree! So excited 🥰 I admit we've barely had a winter this year but I am ready for spring flowers and sunshine. ⛅🌷

So frustrated. I'm working on a wearable muslin tonight. Already added a FBA, looks like there might be a square shoulder and underarm gaping issue. It's a dartless, sleeveless bodice with considerable ease built into it, it should be simple... but of course it isn't. Argh. Sewing.
🙄😑

I just scored three yards of faux red snake skin fabric from a second hand shop! I'm torn between sewing rad 90's trousers or a swanky 70's jacket. Hooray for thrift store finds 🥰

I normally don't just bin ufos but today there was no question if I should. I was trying to use this nasty polyester sheer that's so damn plasticky it bubbles, ripples, frays, and falls out of shape. Sewing yielded wobbly lines with uneven tension at random intervals. To the depths of hell with it!🔥

I finally got my hands on a copy of this Gunne Sax blouse and skirt sewing pattern. It's been on my wishlist for years but it's always been too expensive for me. Thankfully one very reasonable pattern seller let this go for $35 total. Happy days. I can't wait to make the blouse.

Every time I watch Jezebel I can't help but think of Julie as a badass completely ahead of her time. Wear red, fuck those southern prudes! Fuck subservience!
Bette Davis is legendary. ❤️💃
