Well, I have found and pressed all the bits of the cut-out Mage Robe. I have mended the pattern (lookes like the cats got at it and tore shreds out of it while playing! There were whole ragged chunks missing! I am really NOT that careless, normally... ) Quite a bit more was done of this project than I thought, but the collar seems to be missing... I shall take the pattern out and see if I just failed to cut it out. If the pattern piece is missing, I'll copy it off my own copy of the pattern, so this goes home complete.
Yesterday's fitting was excellent. The skirt fits in all essential detaols, and the customer liked the way it hung. I shall just add an inch or so of ease just over the hips (she has a flat bottom, but 'square' high hips at the back, if you see what I mean) so it doesn't pull that tiny bit at the zip.
I managed a trip to Hobbycraft late yesterday afternoon, and got six more of the boxes I've been packing my thread in. Now ALL the thread is in nice dust-proof boxes inside the Ikea Antonious plastic drawer frame (six plastic drawers with a white melamine 'desktop'), and hidden away behind its 'cozy'. I also procrastinated a bit today, sorting out the Lily feet (I dropped the box, all the feet fell on the floor, and the Curvemaster box scattered those bits in with all the others!), labelling all the feet and bits boxes, and putting various bits away so the decks are cleared for action!
I need to rethread the serger (or set up the Brother in black) as the Bernina is threaded up in navy blue for the jeans project. I'm aiming to neaten all the seam edges of the lining skirts and all the hems before making dinner. The chicken pieces can be defrosting and the rather limp lettuce reviving in a bowl of water while I do so.
The jeans are ready for fitting on Monday morning. Other things on the Need to Do Soonest list are:
Complete Mum's skirt! Complete Big Sis's winter coat... Do Little Sis's giant floor cushions!
