Patterning

Right. End of the evening and I have a fitting torso pattern based on this technique. Along with a number of vivid (sharpie for them foreign types) marks in strange places and holes in my fingers where they accidentally collided with pins. Z was amazingly patient and pinned and repinned and marked and remarked heroically and didn't put any holes in me.

Next step: linen lining for torso and dress body using some light weight wool. Still to decide which one. Not thinking about the sleeves or the millions of eyelets.

But for now it is time to warm up as the heat pump does not get the lounge to 'comfortable in a sheet' temperature. Hot water bottle filled, time for the hot drink and enough playing with fabric for the evening.

The kittens have been eyeing up all this wierdness by lurking in the beanbag and staring... and then sleeping.
