It didn't take much figuring out and we all settled down to our various craft projects.
In what turned out to be a bit of a mistake later on I started off by getting a bit more of my Alice in Wonderland EPP done.
I had been using the flat back stitch on the Christmas Stars EPP but for this one I've gon with the whip stitch which I am definitely finding faster and less fiddly. Though that's probably because it was the only stitch I knew when I last did EPP.
My sisters decided to work on some time critical ish projects.
R wants to get two of these cowls finished by November, I think she's got a good chance seeing how this one's growing. I really like this pattern and the baa ram ewe yarn is so soft.
B decided to get another item of clothing made for a dress up doll destined for her friend's children. Hopefully she'll get it done before they out grow the doll, it's been a WIP for 3 years so far.
After a bit of EPP I gathered my nerve and made a start on my Jessa shorts. If I'd had any idea how long tracing a pattern and cutting out fabric takes me I'd have skipped the morning EPP session!
But the pieces for my practice pair are all cut out now and ready for me to underestimate how long the sewing will take!
All in all a highly productive Saturday.
And in case you were wondering, Joseph was excellent. I've seen it once before but forgotten how much fun it is.
