Managed to stay in my own nest a bit more this month. That means less knitting and more sewing.
The main project has been many toiles (muslins) in prep for some summer trousers. Two of the five have been good enough for pyjamas. The final one is also fit for pj's, and is close enough to transfer final changes to the flat pattern and make a good tracing.
The Teal Hermia summer cardigan has moved slowly. I didn't have enough yarn after all, but the contrast stripes look good on the sleeves. One cuff, one quarter sleeve, and the lower quarter bodice to go.
The cheerful Teddy was finished, and is looking for a home. A baby hat just needs casting off, when I dig out an odd bigger needle to do so.
Repairs.
Removed the wobbly patch from the event shirt, it needs a firmer fabric anyway.
Stitched down the sleeve ties on a rtw dress, they'll never stay in place otherwise.
Adapted the old sofa throw for the new sofa, which of course is a slightly different shape.
In the household, yet again I cleared out all the small stuff from my living room/work area whilst a job was done. But this time I'm not allowing myself to bring anything back until it has been assessed, cleaned, and has a proper place to live. There are still a dozen shoe boxes to check, however the task is mostly done.
