So this is a close up of a shirt I'm working on. The fabric strip at the left is what I used to make the contrasting trim piping and the frog closures. This is at the final stage..I've got to re-do the knots and place one more at the center of the collar in front where you see the shiny pin that marks the spot. Though Mismas is closing in fast, I want to finish this before some other projects I'm working on.
Today I baked chocolate chip cookies and prepped the fruitcake stuff. The sugar cookie dough would be refrigerated and ready to go except we've run out of flour. Tonight is GAME NIGHT. I'll be IGOR in the workshop upstairs while the fun young crowd has fondue. Each couple is bringing a game. Each game will be played for 20 minutes. The gang will critique the games. What fun!
My plan is to have Chinese movie night in the workshop and think about chow mein noodles and manapua while I complete my sketches of clothing. Crouching Tiger has the best costumes - from peasant country folk, to the ruling Manchurians and everything in between!
