So when I said "Oooh, maybe work on sewing projects" earlier?

Yeah. Today I altered a blouse, made two skirts, altered a jacket, and overdyed a blazer that was an extremely greenish black but is now a true black.

I need a good source for lightweight black & white striped blouse-weight fabric, preferably cotton. I also need to get some more skirt-weight black cotton blend.

I also need to figure out if I'm going to be able to attend the Zombie Walk on Friday evening. I want to, I just need to poke at the logistics.

So I guess next week the real job hunting starts. Whee, I'm thrilled. Anyone need a good technical editor?

If you are still in need of the striped shirt-weight cotton in a few days, let me know and I'll be happy to set you up with some :)

get down with your bad sewing self, sugar!! woot!!

perhaps quilting stores might have access to the stripy fabric you seek?

There are several stripe widths of nice black and white cotton at Jo Anne's right now.

edge_of_within has a black and white striped dress shirt which, every time I see it, I think should belong to you. (He also finds your book adorable, by the way. He's Not A Goth. Not a NotAGoth. Important distinction. :) )

I'm tempted to go to the Zombie Walk too, but they're trying to get 5,000 people in Fremont! Ugh. Then again--glory points for being part of a World Record attempt!

I'll keep my eyes peeled down here for you. If nothing else, I recently re-discovered a large piece of very nice plain back cotton batiste, and I would be willing to part with a few yards for a lightweight shirt.

Apropose of nothing...

I had a dream the other day with Pete in it. This is unusual in that I often don't remember my dreams (and I don't remember much of the dream) nor do I usually see faces so clearly. I can't recall much of it but he was being very officious with his English self. :) I think he was being an organizer of some sort and having a time herding the cats that were the rest of us in the dream...
