Last pair of pants I’ll need for a while, mostly complete apart from the hems. In the middle of sewing these I realised that I was accidentally sewing up the Second Doctors pants (Patrick Troughton’s Doctor in Doctor Who actually wore yellow check pants, just no one knew until we got the animated/colourised episodes).

The colourwork is finally done & I just have to do the ribbing. Before I do that though, I’m going to weave in a lifeline because I’m terrified I’m going to stuff up the ribbing colour control and I really don’t want to tink whole rows…

A frustrating pictorial tale of figuring out double knitting twisted rib stitch. Because I decided the stranded colourwork fossil cowl needed to be completely reversible & highly plush…

Finally got around to finalising my draft for my #omfd yellow robe. These are the pieces for a test sew. I’m going to be using expensive fabrics to make my #ofmd styled morning gowns so I want to make sure the pattern works first!

Some progress shots of the second pair of pants. Steps shown are basic construction, mock flat fell seaming, positioning the zipper, and attaching the waistband.

I’m slowly replacing all the pants I’ve had since I was 12yo with ones that actually fit me. This pair is made from a very soft suiting wool & feels divine!

One delicious donut shirt. My partner now has all the donuts he desires 🤣

Sydney made mask wearing mandatory in some public places last week. So this is what I have been doing since that time; making masks for our household, my family, and some friends. In total I have made 36 masks. I’m done now!

Completed summer pinafore. The buttons are non-functional, but I did put in manual machine sewn button holes for the oversized buttons if needed at a later stage.

Had to edit the armholes as well to fit me properly without having weird shoulder overhang. Once this trimming was complete, I finished with bias cut from the same fabric. I also marked out my button holes and button placement.
