auditioning

the cotton loom controlled shibori fabric has been conveniently aged  ;-)  time to cut and sew.

planning on stitching the pleats so that they hold.maybe machine stitching using a contrasting colorto highlight the brazilwood colors. what do you think?

the silk yardage is a bit complicated to place a pattern to take full advantage of the difference in color,various values of ai and kakishibu and texture.
and i need about 5 more cms to do so so that front and back match.i would like to use a sleeveless   peter pan collar pattern  i drafted.

thinking about this pattern for the red cotton shibori fabric. 

i have more than enough for it

many truths in one post

first truth of the post: i've dropped one size!
this pattern runs big therefore i made it a size smaller.even though  i had to take the pants  apart- after all that topstitching- and take them  in about 2cms. they are still big, it's the style, but not clown pants big.
the linen is very pleasurable to wear. i don not care about the wrinkles at all, i'm wearing a natural fiber.

truth number two: april showers bring may flowers.

  

                                    drosathemum candens                               clematis jackmanii

the clematises are very vigorous this year and the plants in general look lush and healthy. coming up lots of flower posts this week.
