I've been AWOL for a while - I moved in early September, and with the new setup I planned to make the space in the bedroom under my loft bed into my new studio space. But it took longer than expected to get the bed set back up - I needed to finagle an extra set of hands eventually. Then I spent more than a week down with acute bronchitis (got chest X--rays and everything!) and am only today starting to feel almost well again.
But the space is arranged and the machines and the notions are unpacked. The Big Box O'Fabrics needs to be re-divided into the appropriate tubs and shelved, and the machines need to be cleaned and re-threaded, but I should be sewing again by Sunday.
First projects are some backed-up mending, alteration/reconstruction of a leather corset, and a couple of things for a convention in mid-November. I'm to be the MC at the Windycon Masquerade, so of COURSE I need all new things to wear....
