Monster Creation.
.
This is the fabric that has been washed and needs ironing along with cataloguing.
.
Not even half way through my stash - I'll see you on the other side.
.
Give me strength.

Bargain find.
.
Picked up 12 Knitwit patterns from the local Lifeline store.
.
The previous owner, bless her was a tracer so everything is in tack.
.
There maybe an 80's theme happening and a few mentions of shoulder pads, but all in all all useful patterns.

Getting ready!
.
Toiling a top for #sydneyfrocktails2019.
.
Pants have been toiled already (knit fabric) and a 90% bang on so I'll wear them to the event. Or I may make adjustments and make another pair. Not bad for someone who was terrified of knits until last year.
.
Fabric for top is drying (bucketing outside at the mo) and hopefully the top won't need too many adjustments. Going nice and simple this year.
.
May make some earrings and a clutch as well. Not sure.

#bpsewvember2019 Day 2 - Treasure.
.
My treasure is not sewing related but this gorgeous piece.
.
This is a handmade 12 string guitar that I got for my 18th birthday - I am now 54.
.
She was made in 1983 and has a removable neck. The sound from her is simply beautiful but alas I haven't played her in years. I just realised one of the strings is broken.
.
I don't know much about her other than that she was made by a Japanese luthier K Yairi (he has signed it).
.
If ever there was a fire in the house? I would grab her after the cats.

.
📟Next some maths.

What is this?
.
I was given some boxes of old sewing stuff and I have a role of this stuff. No idea as to what it is.
.
It is very stiff - not sure if it is supposed to be like this or due to age.
.
Anyone?
