As the last days of the year pass by, you're not seeing me heading out for that last pair of jeans (just in case I need them), or workout clothes or a dress for New Years Eve. Who cares that there are terrific sales going on. I'm thinking about all the possibilities I already have in the house. And here are just a few.
There are more, I confess, knits that I haven't hung and several pieces that I've been looking at recently. I read that the aging of your fabric is a good thing. By the time you make it up, you've forgotten how much you paid and it's no longer such a precious thing that you have qualms about cutting it up! There are many pieces I don't even remember buying, some I can't imagine why I did, and a few I wish I hadn't.
I've started redoing a couple of things I've made and not worn for whatever reason. Here's a Nancy Erickson jacket I didn't wear. I wish I had quilted it to flatten it out a la Chanel. It was too much an outdoor only jacket and too much for wearing around this community. So I decided to try to casual it down. I added trim and shortened the collar just by tacking it down at the front corner. Success! I've been wearing it.
