I have moved slightly forward on my 17 object living room to do list. This morning I managed to make a pattern, and get cut out three pre-shrunk sofa pillow covers and one bodice for an 18-inch doll Carnival/candomble goddess dress, out of white linen and its scraps.
Rachel has patiently been waiting, in the jeans and t shirt I made her, for two years.
Now she's going to get a white linen candomble dress with the old lace I unearthed in the great move west. And cowry/star of the sea/feather/sequin-ass jewelry. And a huge white lace head wrap.
But first I need to figure out how to make 20 feet of white linen piping.

Despite the fact they're shipping from LA, 10 yards of optic white mid-weight linen at $7+ a yard is more than $100 cheaper than the schlock the fabric stores here in Macondo have for sale. Holy crap.

So, this'll get done when it gets done. There's plenty else to do.
Like this, make a white pleather cushion cover for the fake Bertoia chair.
