Not surprised.

Jay from the ‘Serial’ Podcast Is Ready to Talk; Rabia Chaudry Not Happy with the Ending – I love how he’s trying to position himself as on the side of Hae’s family, despite the fact that – regardless of who did it – he actually helped bury her and didn’t call the cops.

New dress: another Moneta!

I made myself a new dress! Still getting the hang of knits.

I made myself a new dress! Still getting the hang of knits.

This is another Moneta made with a light jersey print I got at Fabric-a-brac earlier in the year. It was only a small off-cut and the print is directional, so I had to keep it simple. I didn’t put any collar on it, and I used some simple white cotton knit for the bodice lining and pockets. I still find the whole “shirring with clear elastic” thing really annoyingly difficult, so it’s a bit of a bodge. (Maybe the elastic I got at Spotlight isn’t the right stuff?) When I first attached the skirt and tried it on, the waist wasn’t hitting me in the right place. So I undid it and moved it up about 2 inches. The whole project took less than two days. It ended up being a nice little sundress!
