on my way to the fourth

three toiles later each one slightly improved from the previous and i still do not get what i want.

i want a scoop neck bodice to attach to this skirt and make a dress from this fabric.

drafting the bodice  pattern block was relatively easy, especially after getting my patternmaster ruler.

if you want to draft your patterns do yourself a big favor and get one.

ambition  always blinds me and attaching the bodice to fit the skirt, especially when it has side panels is more than a challenge to my present skills.

perseverance, perseverance. hoping to get it before summer ends. after all it is a summer dress.

happy 4th to ya'll in the u.s.!

…. He did not want to play. He wanted to meet in the real world the unsubstantial image which his soul so constantly beheld. He did not know where to seek it or how; but a premonition which led him on told him that this image would, without any overt act of his, encounter him. They would meet quietly as if they had known each other and had made their tryst, perhaps at one of the gates or in some more secret place. They would be alone , surrounded by darkness and silence: and in that  moment of supreme   tenderness he would be transfigured.
