This picture was taken yesterday. I was outside modeling the dress I made. Today there are icicles hanging from the roof. The weather can be so different in 24 hours.
It went from almost 70 to 26 currently. I cannot complain. I am home safe. It is warm. My foot is healing. Now, if the boyos would not give me there bugs. I had plans on making a salmon pie for dinner. At this rate, it is going to be toast and eggs. Something very settling on the tummy. They have had yucky tummies and now it appears I may as well. I may just go to bed very early. Not a very big deal but I do get to hear a bit of complaining.
I do like this dress I made. I had some left over jersey from a present I had made. Part of what is so nice is that the jersey is very wide and I can only buy it in yard increments. It is also organic and milled in the US. I can get other things out of a piece I purchase for a project because of the width and purchase policies.
This t-shirt dress was an experiment for me. I did all the straight sewing on my treadle sewing machine. I did anything with a curve or an edge by hand. It is not a fancy dress but it is a comfortable dress and I can use the concept again. I like a-line dresses but I would be the first to admit that they are probably not the best shape for me. But the comfort!
I have more jersey I can work with. Maybe even enough to get a straighter dress out of some. But I have been asked to make boyo clothes. The boyos basically wish to have old fashioned working suits. Something you would have seen years ago. Shirts, waistcoats, blazers, and pants. I am starting with a few shirts. Maybe a waistcoat. They make me laugh! Because the whole group comes up with this type of thing which makes it even more funny! When I say the boyos, I mean all of them. And Koda Bear may be wishing similar clothes as well as their newest hire. I will have to see.
