Did a little bit more gardening yesterday. Not much. Pulled up a few dead tomato plants, did a little bit of weeding. Made frowny face at whatever decided to eat my cucumber seedlings. I need to plant some more of those, and put them somewhere where they're less likely to get munched.
I also tackled the mending pile. Nine garments; mostly buttons to sew on and popped seams to restitch, with two rips to reinforce. I have only one skirt left to repair (one of the aforementioned rips). I can see the top of my dresser again! And (sorta) my sewing desk. In the process, I finished off two spools of thread. I have like a billion of them, so winnowing them down is always good.
I got a few patterns over the weekend at an estate sale, and my hindbrain wants me to start working on them now. Unfortunately for the hindbrain, I need to finish mockup 3.0 for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stitchy's costume by Friday, and then we go to the fabric district on Saturday to purchase fabric for her. I need to finish her costume by the end of the month so that I can start working on mine! I kind of want to get some silk charmeuse for myself while we're there, to make some slips, and about three yards of silk chiffon to make a veil for bellydance class. But given that I have tons of polyester chiffon I could make one from, and that I don't know if Mara is going to have us working with veils again next term, I'm not sure if I can justify the expense on any of the silk right now. I might punt it all to later; after all, I'll need to go back to purchase fabric for my own costume....
