The second revised TATB Freya (slightly lower neck, a 5/8" neckband) is finished and in regular wear. I would like to make more of these, but also want to revisit a drop shoulder tee and/or try a v-neck version. Decisions, decisions.
I returned to the woven shirt pattern, a much altered Burda 8957, which I'd used for Mrs Mole's fit-a-long. This time in blue gingham salvaged from a man's large shirt - and so only the lower sleeves were finagled rather cut out properly. A much smoother process and an even better result. I'm still tweaking, those last eighth-and quarter-inch changes, to balance a more fitted look and enough movement ease. Almost ready to finish the hem before a day's test wear.
Not much knitting done. The final legwarmer is in my daybag but not getting much attention.
DD and I made paper chickens together. Crepe paper and cardboard, from an Ann Wood pattern. A lovely afternoon.
Repairs and alterations? Fixed a torn placket on a rugby shirt, a couple of popped seams and missing buttons. Added a tiny key pocket to an unpocketed pair of joggers. Added a triangular gusset to the neckline of a rarely worn tee - it's friction at the underarm again - but haven't done an all-day test wear yet.
Next month there are some non-crafty projects, so I have left out materials for hopefully quick and easy makes.
