future sewing

my favorite fabric store in helsinki is a small venue but with interesting unusual fabrics.
proof of concept , the above agorgeous textured wool with cotton backing so that it's not scratchy.

a japanese cotton with some faint seersucker texture.

i'll start pattern hunting. as if i didn't have pending sewing projects.

it was the charm

i became obsessed with this project,talk about going outside the comfort zone.was learning to work with mohair-25 gr. of rowan kidsilk lace that i got on sale; also learning about racking technique and figuring out  something that i saw on line.

persevere and you'll prevail.

chuffed about the outcome.

now i can start planning the portugal entry. have all xmas holidays to work on it w/out distractions.
