I have had been having a need to wear more black again. So I took out the black linen I had and made two black dresses. Very basic and something I can wash easily.
I was given Christmas and birthday money and I am thinking about making a couple more. Whether they will be linen or a nice cotton, I do not know. I just know that I need more washable then wool. Though I am wearing the clothes that I used to wear to the office around the house. I am playing with dye with some of them too just so they are darker.
I do not need more clothes. I need to wear out what I have. Which means it will really be years before I need new clothes. What I make lasts until it falls apart. Nightgown and slips are what fall apart the fastest. I have been mending those by cutting off the falling apart bits and adding a new section. I just do not wish to look tattered.
And I want more black. And I do not really like RIT dye. With the pandemic, many dyes that would give me a very dark brown or black are out of stock. It makes life interesting.
This week is about grinding axes, working on chef rolls, and making more face masks. I am waiting for the doctors to call about my Dad's next appointments. The valve replacement is coming. I am hoping to have enough quilt squares cut out at that point that I may actually work on a quilt while I am there. Or maybe finish the sweater I am working on? The stitch is hard on my hands and I have to count. The quiet helps.
