while I was making the quilt back

I made myself a couple of wool dresses.  I wanted a black dress with sleeves and found a lovely wool. When I cut it out, I found I actually had enough fabric for two.  I have been wanting some sheath dresses again so that is what I am going to make with the extra. 

I did the horrible thing of going to the fabric store to buy zippers and found more fabric.  I did buy more black wool.  Two different bits which will probably make four dresses.  For some odd reason I was really drawn to the laces and I do not know why.  I really do not wear lace.  Spilling tea on a lace dress?  Not good. It does not mean I cannot admire.

I find I can make five nine squares for each dress with sleeves I make.  Is that not a funny statistic?  I also have taken to putting tags in everything.  I am the crazy lady who goes camping with a backpack full of dresses.  When you are getting dressed in the dark, a tag makes a huge difference!

Just simple A-line dresses but I get such compliments on them.  They are so comfortable and easy.

The wools I picked up are so soft and have some weight.  If the weather stays cool and the office stays as cold as it has been, I will like these very much all winter.  I may have store them for summer.  May not if I wear them only at the office.  I so rarely do that.

Off adventuring again this weekend.  Mountains and fiber.  Such a good combination.  I may or may not be here tomorrow.
