at last


this babe has come around.i bought this pattern on my 014 trip to japan. i have already made the muslin to check the fit, but had width issues with the fabric i wove for it. it was liying around getting shuffled from one table to another if you know what i mean.
on this last trip to japan i went actively searching for fabric that i could use for it and came back home with a couple of candidates all knits, some double knits which are easier to work with.



here we go!  last week after i got the last 
parcel from japan i could begin to seriously
get to it.i had found the same fabric in tokyo  which was very cool because i needed an extra meter. going on the safe side i got two!
going to use the back  a nice denim like knit
to make the  neck facing as an outside band and turned hems at the sleeves.
it's going to be for spring and fall wear, those intermediate months too warm for  wool too cool for just a long sleeved top.
trembling nonetheless because cutting and sewing with knits is not easy.

it is obvious


at least to me,that gac 900 exist for something. for example when you end with an enormous patch of white in a warp.
the kamikaze weaver brings out her golden acrylics, her golden gac 900, and fearless, she mixes the color, paints the offending patch and gets on with life. instead of brooding and regretting her dye job.



just left a bit of white.
this is she who has been dyeing with plants for two days (^∇^)
no regrets whatsoever.
