From The Pleats Up: January 2016
http://fromthepleatsup.blogspot.com/2016_01_01_archive.html
From The Pleats Up. Thursday, 28 January 2016. I Read A Lot Of Blogs. I read a lot of blogs, but I don't tend to read them like you would expect. I tried subscribing to them and reading posts when they came up but I had a tendency to not check it for a day or two. or a month, and when you go back that far and try to find where you were, you've forgotten most of it. So if I used to leave comments on all your posts but don't any more, that's why. Tuesday, 26 January 2016. No crafting has happened since Sat...

From The Pleats Up: Books!
http://fromthepleatsup.blogspot.com/2016/01/books.html
From The Pleats Up. Monday, 11 January 2016. I finished two books yesterday! Both of them were quite short, but still. Firstly, Chinese Clothing by Hua Mei, which I started a week ago. The pictures were okay, and the text was okay, but they felt like they'd been put together by two different people who didn't know what each other were doing until it came time to put the final draft together. It would spend a page talking about something like the lenin dress. and then never show one! I don't get it! Finis...

From The Pleats Up: Blegh!
http://fromthepleatsup.blogspot.com/2016/01/blegh.html
From The Pleats Up. Tuesday, 26 January 2016. No crafting has happened since Saturday and it probably won't be for a few more days. I have the sore throat from hell. My submandibular lymph nodes are the size of grapes and I can't swallow without flinching. And yes, I google everything that's just the slightest bit wrong with me. I went to the doctors but they just used the opportunity to do a pap smear and give me an inoculation I should have already had. That just made me feel awesome. A Pick Me Up.

From The Pleats Up: A Cuff
http://fromthepleatsup.blogspot.com/2016/01/a-cuff.html
From The Pleats Up. Saturday, 9 January 2016. I pretty much spent yesterday sleeping. My course of pills finishes on Sunday and I don't know if I'll be feeling 100% by then but I don't feel it now. Sigh. At some point during the week, I can't remember when, I finished the cuffs on little brothers shirt and added a button and buttonhole on one of them. Getting close to the end.

From The Pleats Up: Progress
http://fromthepleatsup.blogspot.com/2016/01/progress.html
From The Pleats Up. Thursday, 14 January 2016. I've been working on little projects since my last post, and forgot to line up a post for yesterday so I'll just dump it on you in one go. :-). I also sorted out this box of books and took out the ones I wanted to keep. The ones shown here are going to the charity shop next time I pass through town. The trough on my windowsill is sprouting!

From The Pleats Up: That Damn Skirt
http://fromthepleatsup.blogspot.com/2016/01/that-damn-skirt.html
From The Pleats Up. Wednesday, 20 January 2016. This skirt is still going. I think I've got the darts just about right, but I'm going to have to make one up in a thicker fabric to see if it works in a better analog for the final project. I just hope it's over soon. Given how often I change weight, it might not fit by the time I finish it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. I Read A Lot Of Blogs. A Pick Me Up.

From The Pleats Up: Sewing Progress And Weight Gain
http://fromthepleatsup.blogspot.com/2016/01/sewing-progress-and-weight-gain.html
From The Pleats Up. Sunday, 10 January 2016. Sewing Progress And Weight Gain. I got quite a lot done yesterday, what with finally feeling better and all. I drew out the basic skirt block I'm going to work on in the sewing classes and started cutting out pieces for the Teddy Bear. The Teddy is taking more time than you'd think because I have to remove all the fur from the 1/4 inch seam allowances. I'm going to use that fur, some unwanted fabric and all my tiny fabric scraps to stuff it. A Pick Me Up.

From The Pleats Up: Fashion Book Monday?
http://fromthepleatsup.blogspot.com/2016/01/fashion-book-monday.html
From The Pleats Up. Monday, 25 January 2016. It seems like Sunday is my reading day, and since I post about what I do a day late, why don't we just make Monday posts about books? So, in between visiting the grandparents and getting a terrible headache, I read Fashion Since 1900 by John Peacock. It's layed out with a couple of pages of drawings of various women in dress of a specific period, sorted into various categories, and then a couple of pages of outlines with the descriptions. I Read A Lot Of Blogs.
