Gosh, fits of organisation...

Have the right needles now (it is like the right trousers only better) - thank you very much evildrakey.
Also have the dishes done.

So, the glories of groceries, dvd return and rental, and then back for a session of tent doors. I'd get back to the more fun bliaut, but I can't find the rest of the instructions for attaching the skirt to the torso - straight or curved seam? Also I am looking at the sleeves and thinking that embroidery round the elbows to cover up the seam there would be good (running short on thread for the full sleeve length and that can be done at a later date) and can't do the sides til that is done and attached. The trousers just need the belt loops attached, so may be saved for an hour or two when I really need a sense of achievement at the end.

So, I procrastinate the trousers with the bliaut, the bliaut with the tent doors, the tent doors with the shopping and don't think about the veil that should go with the bliaut and the silk which might work for it or the better fitting oilskin hood. All of which is avoiding that spreadsheet of RV Tauri data that should really be compiled and sent off some point vaguely soon but foolishly doesn't have a deadline. At least I can no longer put off the dishes.

I should be fine as long as I don't run out of things to procrastinate from...

NB The babbling rate may be up a bit due to various family and siblings not being online to pester.

Yay.

Sewing machine now happy leading to a less stressed me.
Yellow stripy tent now has a one piece back end and I am in the process of attaching it. Unfortunately this has to be by hand with the combination of an awl and a kick arse needle harpoon of doom and very heavy linen thread. Only broken 2 lesser needle versions so far, hence the awl.
Buffy and punching holes. What better combination? Though I will be sensible and trade out when my back and fingers start complaining.

(no subject)

Right, one side of the back is now sewn on. Stopping now so my thumb doesn't get too unhappy and my neck changes angle a bit more.
The other side is about 10cm started and fingers crossed should be doable tomorrow. 210cm long... Probable about 4 hours work.
No more sewing tonight though, no matter what the scale.
