I've made 2 pairs of shorts from an Ottobre pattern
Made completely from stash, pattern slightly ammended as I decided to ditch the pockets. The fabric is a cotton gabardine with a couple of fade marks but these are casual so I'm not too worried. Might possibly regret that later, but in general pants tend to sit better without pockets; that and I didn't really have time to do bound pockets this time. I finished these yesterday.
Today I finished my skirt; no pattern, it's just a tiered skirt with an elastic waistband
See me twirl! This is to replace my favourite skirt, also a tiered skirt which I bought many years ago from Ezibuy. Unfortunately the original skirt is now faded and has a couple of holes so it really needs to be retired; I might save some of it for inclusion in a quilt. The new skirt is completely from stash as well; a lightweight cotton fabric.
I've also started some spinning, no photos' today as they're on the other camera which I haven't downloaded yet. I'm spinning 2 lots of fibre and will ply them together. The first is some of Anna Harris' Merino/Silk from the old store at the Arts Centre; the other is alpaca silk batts from Doe Arnott which are very similar in colour. Aiming at light fingering, but it won't be finished for a couple of weeks probably, going to be busy next week.
