Couple 'o pics

It's been a challenging couple of weeks. Work continues to be a variety of things, including disheartening and perhaps a short-term environment for me after all. More details in a day or so in a non-public environment, just in case

My tailor did a very nice twenties-style coat for me from one of their patterns. Cashmere, with a silk lining, and velvet at the sleeve cuffs and collar, which are place-holders until I get around to getting appropriate fur pieces to replace them. Folkwear patterns vary in their ease of use and fitness for purpose. I am reliably told, for instance, that if you want a cheongsam, forget about making it yourself from the Folkwear pattern and go and look for a properly-trained dressmaker in your nearest Chinatown. Some things actually do have to be made to order, unless you are lucky enough to be a perfect pattern size.

Your coat sounds absolutely divine!! This particular pattern has been quite easy to follow; then again, aside from the unique front, it's not a complicated pattern. Still, I do want to make sure that it's going to fit! :P

Cute haircut!

Thank you!! Sorry I've been quiet- definitely want to talk, though we'll be out of town this coming weekend. Maybe Wednesday lunch…

Many thanks! I do love that my bed head is now cute, lol. The pants are mostly assembled, but I'm going to have to make a boatload of buttonholes. D:

Yes, well you do! We can commiserate. I'm so glad you like the haircut and color! I'm really, really enjoying it. :D
