Goodness. 4th day off and I found enough brain and time to cut out a frock! Twas supposed to happen yesterday but I unexpectedly spent the whole day being pleasantly social.
Anyway. I am remaking my favourite Durer Frock, the one made previously in turquoise with black trim. Basically the left hand one but with backless sleeves like on the right.
Fabrics shown above also, both lightweight wools. The pale gold wool (the less kind would possibly call it beige) is the piece I got from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
damned_colonial when she left the country, with a yellow dye through it. Original colour shown in the tiny pinned scrap. The green is leftovers from my 'old button frock'. It also is natural coloured wool with a dye through it. I am hoping for a pleasant, soft, 'greenery, yallery' kind of effect.
So, frock, lining, interlining, trim etc all cut out. Now I need a little rest to recover before any sewing happens. Fingers and brain are both itching to DO though. I really need to save more of this from work. It's all very well earning a living but one has to LIVE too. For me that tends to necessarily involve making things.
