Yesterday I did the laundry early and hung it out on the line. We went to
the farmers market and got asparagus, rhubarb, cucumber, baby chard,
mesclun, and radishes. On the way home we swung by the teaching garden to
close the garage door. Lunch, crossword, folded the laundry, snack, then P
helped with some draping for a shirt I want to make. We did the yoke and
the front and then put off the back for later. I spent the rest of the
afternoon sewing major seams on P’s pj shorts. I screwed up the seam
allowance on one of the front panels, trimming it like the back, but I
think I’ve got around it by using a 4mm flat-felled seam on the inseam and
just doing french seams on both side seams instead of felling them. Makes
the pocket finishes better anyhow.
Also the felling feet work a lot better if you have the needle in the
center like you’re supposed to 🙄.
Dinner, Flash, sleep. P made Thai beef once I was safely upstairs. Good man.
