baronessekatI actually got up early this morning and did a 1 mile walking workout
I didn't gloat to the co-workers that this is my last week and that I'm not overly crushed that they haven't even interviewed for a replacement yet.
Sewing:
1. plaid tunic finished.
2. blue gauze pants seams sewn. Just needs waits and cuffs
3. safety orange with silver veil hemmed (I cheated and did it by machine. I will have enough hand sewing in the near future.
4. cut too large a neckline on navy linen tunic. Will obtain a linen in a contrasting color and fix via a facing.
5. contacted Mistress Katja and she's offered to make a copy of her period persian coat for me. I will wait in looking at the fabrics for them until I get the pattern and make a muslin mock up.
Tomorrow I think I'm going to clean off the camp bed in the spare room and pull out my cutting board and start working on cutting stuff out. Yes there are more interesting and fun ways to spend a birthday but I'm motivated and I want to take advantage of it.
If anyone feels the burning need to get me something for my birthday... while I own around 50 of them... I can't find any of my seam rippers. I really need to get one before I start working on the cotehardies... I always end up with at least one seam backwards on them before I'm done.
I need to do another workout tonight. We'll see if I actually do it. It's hot and muggy even with the AC in the room.
