I am coming to accept the fact that a fulltime job, two small children, a long commute - and mostly, the raising of a special needs child - will prevent me from realizing a number of ambitions for the immediate future. I lack the time, energy, and ambition:
- to really bother trying to launch a new career designing fabrics or launching a pattern line
- to pursue the skill set necessary for consideration for the Order of the Laurel
- to construct all the projects running around in my head
- to even get my home into the state I'd like it
But every now and then, something DOES go my way. I went to JoAnn's today to get fabric for a corset. I looked at the cotton duck, but it seemed a little coarse and stiff. So I went wandering through the twills. I happended across a bolt of burgundy herrigbone twill of a weight and pattern very similar to corset coutil. It was labeled $6.99/yd, but rang up $2.50. I nearly went for the rest of the bolt. ;-) 100% cotton, even.
Yeah, me. Now to shop for binding, cable ties, and to draft a pattern. ;-)
