My metaphorical "dummy" (the clothes hanger than I use for this purpose) is
still wearing the stand-collared linen shift that I mentioned the last time
this meme came up on the list. ON the other hand, it's done except for the
seam finishing, and I'm making sufficiently good progress on that that I
expect the thing to be finished before the end of the year, and then I can
start the wool tunic I'm aiming to do next. :-)
Mine has an 18th century dress for a dance company, embroidered
polysilk, ruffles, falaballas and all. The embroidery hoop has the
quilted lining for my DIL's work basket, only about 18months late.
The bag by my TV chair has a cardigan in the knit, and the bag under
the table has a crocheted butcher boy cap that I pulled out and need
to start again.
And this is called retirement?
