Sarah, I'm holding my breath! such lovely material, and such a beautiful shirt pattern laid out with the milkweed and the coffee filters. What will develop next week? What a glorious recycler you are! So I need to go do something ridiculous too. It must be springl I'm going to go check out the things rolled up on MY shelf and see what I can do that is creative. Thanks for the spark.
My inkle looms are both in action and I can’t really weave krokbrand on them and having trouble so my husband said I will make you a new one that is the size you need has the dimensions now to see when it gets done but all is good. I will keep weaving bright coloured bands and roll them up as I buy the thread at the goodwill just crochet cotton but hey better in bright coloured bands than in the bin at the goodwill
I love Kawandi quilts (scraps appliqued from the edge to the center). So I decided to see if I could make a vest the same way...just because I could, each piece of fabric is being cut specifically for it's place on the vest - totally ridiculous but I am entranced, and loving being entranced. So I get it, totally! Enjoy, and isn't it wonderful the way it makes one's brain feel so good!
I so enjoy your process, uncertainty and going where serendipity leads you. I have resumed spinning on an antique Turkish spindle acquired in Turkey in an antique store. It has the practical marks of long use. I am spinning roving from the sock summit in 2011. I am plying both ends of the ball together. We are going on a long trip, and i have no idea what I am going to do with it. I have a pound of roving...
Oh my, , , Nothing ventured, nothing learned !! This is absolute, wonderful truth. I ventured into the woods for a year, and I learned that if you listen the trees will speak to you, big smile! So much venturing and learning to be done! I also ventured into hand sewing my clothes and am so loving the process and the finnished wearable. Thank you, dear one.

It is so wonderful to have you in my inbox again. I just love that you are working to weave a container of light that you can wear.
Marvelous as usual pure delight that you are making a garment from magic.
Yes, a new paper shirt to go with your super cool hair cut (short hair is really fun to rock) and your new life!! I love your creative muses!
That sounds so fun
I love what you do and I love the way you write about it.
So you have inspired me to pull two swaths of cloth I wove--one linen and the other linsey woolsey to make myself a couple of shirts. Thank you!
What a beautiful story and like your end product its evolution is like a song, going from thought to fingers to beauty. Thank you!

I cannot wait to see this finished garment on you Sarah!

Rolled up and waiting for the right time… it’s like basic science-do the thing you love and that speaks to you and maybe penicillin will appear later.
Those swathes of stripes are divine! And I’m sure the hand is sublime. They will feel like a breath against the skin.

I’m waiting with bated breath to see how the shirt turns out. And I’m so happy you are back writing, creating and inspiring us!
