Did a test run of #seamworkbenning today with some random stash cotton. I lined the top (since it’s a bit sheer), then had to get creative with adding panels to (and shortening) the skirt due to fabric constraints. Hmm. It’s a bit shapeless, but a belt helps. Definitely some fitting issues to address before I do the real one! #awsdressv2 🧵🪡👗

Ugh. Made a massive error cutting out my test dress last night. (At least I was smart enough not to do it on the real fabric!) “Self, you’re clearly tired and you should sleep on it before you do anything else.” I then proceeded to go to bed and stay up for 5 hrs brainstorming ways to fix it. 😩 #sewing #zombie #awsdressv2 🧵🪡👗
Last night’s dinner: Pasta alla Norma, a meat-free pasta dish with silky, delicious deep-fried eggplant. 😍🍝 #madebythesnook

Funemployment stage 257: restoring a 30+ yo keyboard he found in his childhood bedroom. He had to order a connector and solder some things together, but it definitely works! Next step – CLEAN IT. (It’s so gross.) ⌨️🛁

Be my stylist. No belt, white belt, or pink belt? (We’re going out for a special occasion.) 👗🤔 @made590 #made590
Happy (prime) birthday to my best friend. I feel very lucky to get to share my life with the cleverest, kindest, handsomest man. ❤️ (And he voted for the white belt, so that’s what I went with!)
For his birthday, he really wanted to go to Sixpenny, one of the best restaurants in Sydney, which meant booking six months in advance. It did not disappoint. We had a delicious long lunch with oysters and wine and everything lovely. Highly recommend. ❤️🍷🦪
Fit check! I knitted one of the afterthought heels so I could check the placement, and it was a little tight. So I frogged it back to that point and moved the heel back a stripe. Much better! Now it’s just a straight shot up the leg… 🧶🧦 #knitting
