doof doof scavenger! Nothing excites her more than repetitive sounds like those of a sewing machine⦠except maybe garbage day. Uses the sewing machine her mom made her baby clothes with and refuses to read manuals. Likes to stitch rip for hours in 40 degree humidity and always has a pot of tea on the counter.

Thanks for the post and compliments – you make me blush! I’m working on some more animals – so keep an eye out.

But none of this is new – Kimonos were made this way for centuries. We are all just part of a big long progression of ideas.
If you want to try out how I do it download my instructions (no pictures yet so you’ll have to use extra brain juice). Please try it out and let me know how you did!
