All my hard work over the past few weeks is paying off. It’s starting to look like a coat! I still need to sew on the collar, the front facings,and then line it. So there’s a lot left to do.

And can I share how much I love my new Bohin Mechanical Chalk Pencil? I’ve always struggled with transferring pattern marks to fabric. When I used chalk, it rubbed off. But this miracle wonder tool solved the problem. I picked it up at Sew to Speak on Saturday, but it’s not on their website.

Bob and I are both off today, and we’re going to go for a walk. Outside. At a park! it will be nice to spend some time together.
