Comments— I am back in Anchorage, and I did all of my laundery which is essentially everything I have made. I really only have a few true duds that I just won’t wear. There are a few that I wear and think, nope I’m not doing that again, but they are still in my closet. I have only given one piece of clothing away—the denim pajama bottoms which were so uncomfortable. The denim was way too thick for the pattern. The weather has been cool and cloudy which is really just about right for all kinds of clothing.

COMMENTS– I am feeling better about the just roll with the flow aspect of the project. Every day I wear clothing I have made, and I try and find some one who will take my photo in the middle of whatever road I am on. The weather shifts wildly out here and the garments I have made are not necessary meant for bush living, but it is what is. Sunday marked the 150th day of this project. WOW.

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.
