Comments— I wrote a detailed blog post about how I am documenting this adventure. You can read it over on my regular blog Tales of a Stitcher. I did a really foolish thing the other day. I wanted to change the neck line on the grey tunic I am wearing on # 204. I chalked a new neckline, cut the old off, got distracted by my children, came back, sewed a new binding onto the tunic, but I NEVER cut the new neckline shape. In other neckline news, I did successfully change the neck line on my black t-shirt. Day #197 is the old neckline, and Day #198 is the new one. I am also a little miffed that our neighbors decided to build a back driveway on our road. I moved my photo shoot location to the other side of the road so that their red car won’t be in the photos.

COMMENTS— The light has been amazing. It was really beautiful on Thursday. Of course it is. It is Solstice!  I don’t have time to be making new garments, so I am back in that make do phase at least for the summer. I have three skirts and two pairs of shorts. But you know, it really is enough. Sure, I would like to look super fancy every day, but the reality is that we don’t look super fancy every day. In fact, I am still not over the fact that I don’t actually look the same every day. What is up with that?

COMMENTS
I am surprised in some ways by how long it took me to finally catch up on the documentation of this project. If I had my way, I would sew and sew and sew clothes. Lately, I like to make a new piece and then sew pieces that work with the new piece, so that a complete outfit evolves from the first decision. For example, I make a tunic and then I make the tights to go with it, and they both work with the new scarf I just finished. This is different from the beginning when I was really making things because I did not have them. For example I needed to make pants. Now, I have pants so I can be more creative in my making decisions.
