Just finished the third twill skirt for DD, and for a little variety, I made the last one with a fly front instead of a back zipper (two and a half hours each on the first two, three and on the one with the fly front).
And I have another Highland Dance "Lilt" skirt and scarf finished to deliver to DGD's teacher (third one). I'm getting the dance outfits down to about 2-1/2 hours start to finish, including fringing the scarves. I would have let DGD fringe this last one, but I discovered the cloth, which may be old (from the teacher's stash?), was 100% cotton, and pulling the threads for the fringe was *not* fun. Every crosswise thread broke the minute I started pulling them, very frustrating. So she'll get to work on the
*next* one.Tomorrow, I'm going to start on the silk pajamas to wear on my up-coming vacation at the coast.
