If you like your sewing tutorials medieval and reminiscent of Bergman films, try Elin's and remember that old Robert Burns / Fairport Convention poem Tam Lin.
O I forbid ye, maidens a',
That wear gowd on your hair,
To come, and gae by Carterhaugh,
For young Tom-lin is there.There's nane that gaes by Carterhaugh
But they leave him a wad;
Either their rings, or green mantles,
Or else their maidenhead.Janet has kilted her green kirtle,
A little aboon her knee;
And she has broded her yellow hair
A little aboon her bree;
And she's awa to Carterhaugh
As fast as she can hie.Sewing a 17th Century Kirtle

I shortened the old lightweight cropped pants in order to add a phone pocket. 👌✨📱🩳 Now these shorts are more practical.

Pink skeleton bat, mostly hand-sewn for my (adult) niece. Phases of creation were roughly “Ooh this is a great idea!”, “Whose idea was this?”, “It’ll all be worth it in the end”, “[censored]”, “Why do I keep trusting patterns off the internet”, and finally “let’s never speak of this again”. I kind of wish she was still four years old so she won’t notice how wonky it is. But hey, it’s the thought that counts!

Made a carrying pouch, making use of the leftover nylon fabric from the rain pant project.

Today it was too hot to do, well, anything, really, so we decided to take a day off and rest.
Which means that I've spent the whole day #handsewing.
Which, one could assume, means that I've finished the vampire shirt? of course not, I still have to attach two pairs of finishing patches to the sleeve slits, of course.
But I've worked quite a bit on a new-ish project, so that's good, right?
And to be fair, I had cut the fabric for that project close to two years ago, so it didn't completely count as a *new* project either.
(It's a towel hair wrap, and a second one in a lighter fabric to use as general head wear)
