OH MY GOD I FOUND IT I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR AGES

I finished this wool waistcoat a couple days ago, and it's another thing that had been on The Pile for years. I don't think I've mentioned the Pile number recently, but as of right now I'm down to 14 unfinished sewing projects! (It was 25 at the start of this year.)

The wool is from an old pencil skirt that was originally dark greenish grey and I overdyed it with green. I had to piece the sides and shoulders, as I always do when making things with skirt wool. (I was given a bunch of them years ago, already picked apart.)

I had to piece the linen back too, since it was cut from a couple of small strips, which I'm pretty sure were also given to me at some point. The pocket bags are a lighter weight unbleached linen.

The lining is silk taffeta I bought on a road trip in 2018, and the button moulds are flat wooden beads. One of my goals this year was to actually use silk twist more (instead of just hoarding it because it's expensive) so I actually did use silk for the buttonholes for once!

It has a little bit of machine stitching, but most of the sewing is by hand. I haven't got any pictures of it on me yet, but I will try to get some soon. Very glad to have another wool waistcoat for my everyday wardrobe! Before this I only had the black one I made last year, and I would like to have more variety. I used to have a brown wool one I wore constantly in the cold half of the year, so hopefully I'll make another of those soon.

you know funniest part of the hirohiko araki meets a fujoshi article is towards the end he seems to be slowly losing grip on reality and is desperately searching for something solid to cling onto and is like surely surely nobody is making yaoi about the seven samurai right thats a homoeroticism free place and the fujoshi is like :) no its easily yaoifiable in fact im yaoifying it as we speak and laughing at him and hes like oh ok... um the magnificent seven too??? and shes like oh well of course and then he makes the fatal error in his haste and fear trying to identify a yaoi free shore to lay down his anchor asks if slam dunk has yaoi about it and then she can really drive in the killing blow laughing and saying oh please everyone knows theres yaoi about slam dunk were u raised under a rock and he then asks in a really tiny small voice does this mean people ship real baseball players too and shes like oh well of course... truly a masterclass in slowly stripping away the veil before his eyes and awakening a man in denial to the vital yaoi cords linking all media the unspoken pulsing beating heart of storytelling

Tumble certainly lives up to his name!

The boys are play wrestling a lot today, and Sundew is respecting any "mrah!" noises Tumbleweed makes when he gets too rough. Very proud.

I'm hoping to have Tumbleweed up here long enough today to get tired and sleep, to see how Sundew reacts to that.
