#kaoru makes stuff

ive meant to ask- or i already did a long time ago and forgot ^^; but what is the lil guy in your pfp?

It's just a critter I doodled and screenprinted on a bag for an art class years ago! For no particular reason when I needed a pfp I decided to take a picture of the bag and dial up the contrast & brightness till it looked flat, and that's what I've used ever since.

I skipped my shelter cat post last Tuesday so here is CeCe helping me sew @coolthinghere

From last night, picking out fabric for a new bag. I went through a stupid number of fabric choices before deciding the backing fabric should be just plain black…

A few more blue squares done, just need ironing. (A couple more after that, and I'll have finished the blue entirely!)

The mending quest continues. Sewed these little folds into the waist of these jeans to stop them gapping at the back. Not as symmetrical as I would have liked, but it works.

We have decided that while @justsayins does NaNoWriMo I will do "Sewvember". The main goal will be to empty out the overflowing basket of stuff I've been meaning to mend / alter / take apart for scrap. Tonight's project: fix this strap that holds the basket onto my bicycle. Since we only came up with Sewvember today, this was a little easy one to start me off. Done in 20 minutes, with Cece's assistance of course.

Catching up on Sewvember...this didn't photograph very well since the fabric is so dark and the lighting is poor, but anyway. Found this pair of pants at the thrift shop and the legs were a little short, so I let the hems down as much as I could and now I have one more pair of dressy slacks.

A delayed flight means testing out @kimonoponcho 's lovely kakehari on the airport seats
