fitting today
toile is finished. i need to do some fitting to it, my waist is not that big, really! beats me why a skirt with a back zipper has an elastic waist. i would have said one or the other wouldn't you?
my dislike of elastic waists has no limits and i'm doing away with this one, so i have to take in the waist and reinforce it with some iron on interfacing.
albeit all that i like the style and how it turned out. the bad news is that iwill have to buy commercial fabric for it because my handwoven is not wide enough. that or buy a new wider loom ;-)

getting into gear
doing the mixed media stint. nothing serious, no objective, other than fun play. a nice warm up.
later. tracing a pattern, altering it and cutting the toile for a skirt to be. i have a feeling my woven yardage's not going to be enough. let's see if i can come up with something other than buying material and forgetting about the handwoven.
save those old sheets, they are really handy for dummy toiles.
