Hello Dear Reader,

A quick stop today. An easy make this weekend of a kimono jacket. I shall wear this in the warmer weather with linen trousers and a sleeveless top. I really must thank you because you sent me this fabric. You’ve also sent me patterns, inserts from Prima magazine and I’ve really enjoyed making something to wear out of fabric you just didn’t get round to using.

My cotton tunic top was a learning experience. It fitted well but the fabric was too thick and just didn’t feel right. I’m going to experiment with lighter fabrics with an element of stretch for comfort.

I’m working on the basis that I will get better at this. One of many skills I will work harder on is cutting, I struggle and I’m shaky but will get better. Something that I am good at is trying, having another go and practising.

I’m now off to batch cook for a few days, get our clothes ready for work and put all the laundry away.

Until tomorrow

Love Froogs
