Over the weekend I was hoping for a sudden inspiration regarding fabric manipulation. But with the incredible weather we’re having in the North East and visiting the corpse plant three times, it just didn’t happen. But man, was that flower smelly.

Lovely. Isn’t it calming to mend stitch? Curious to see what you’ll be doing with those hankys.
love all the mending and stitching on your skirt – inspires me to do some more work on my own boro-inspired skirt made from old jeans and other fabrics.
I’m also curious about the result…
Very fond of old handkerchiefs myself. Intriguing. Love the mending.
