Well, the grey leggings/tights did not last. They did not have enough four stretch, and I blew them out pretty quickly. This is disappointing as I “wasted” the fabric. I am hoping to transform them into something else. This week is the first one where I have had new garments to wear, and that always feels nice. As you can tell, my palette is still very grey.

The easy part is wearing the clothes that I make. It is interesting that even though I have a very limited wardrobe there are somethings I don’t wear. Instead, I wear the same things over and over again. I am very much enjoying this project. I have started to think of it as my version of a facelift. It is a good thing.
