Either that wallpaper goes or I do

Photos of the much-more-finished zipper skirt. This version though still has some visible flaws...and I'm starting to think that to get it right I'll have to start over. Not enthusiastic about starting over. I need constant newness







lol - not sure what I was thinking in that last pic.

In the Meantime in Between Time

This quote has stayed with me from F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby when few other things have from that particular book. The phrase itself is in fact quoted from a song called "The Love Nest" in the book, as you can see here.

So because it's such a longtime favorite of mine, I've just gone from not being able to say "in the meantime" without "in between time", to making it the title of this blog.



If this picture brings you back to high school...you are not alone

Satisfaction is Death

-George Bernard Shaw.

So this is the zipper skirt. It's not finished yet, mainly because I have a problem with the elastic waist band...



I saw a similar skirt somewhere online, really can't remember where. In any case, I loved the design and decided to make my own

Leftovers

This is a bag I did from leftover red fabric. I used this tutorial to make it.





The whole exterior of the bag is pleated

Yeah. Not much else going on. Been putting off studying this week, and made some progress on the black zipper skirt I've been wanting to make...pictures will be up soon.
