Whether it’s the pandemic, three years of intermittent quarantining, or retiring from the workplace, I can no longer multitask the way I once did. Now for my own sanity, I need to focus on and finish one project at a time, but it sometimes stuns me the number of different things I do on any given day.
I won’t belabor all of today for you, but I did a deep dive into researching kilts and how they’re constructed because I want to make some at 1:6 scale for my male dolls. Last week when Lynne and I went to Jo-Ann’s, I found some good fabric for this project.
I finally designed a pattern that I think is the right size, and I marvel again that something I never thought to see or use again after eighth grade comes in handy: a math compass.
Projects like this keep me from spending too much time reading the news, and this will definitely be a trial-and-error project with a learning curve. Stay tuned…
Monty Python’s Flying Circus did a spoof called The Science Fiction Sketch. It involved some kilts, a blancmange and tennis.
The one I sewed Friday is finished, but I also often felt like I was in a Monty Python skit. It still needs a little work, and I probably won’t use that pattern again.
