Tomorrow I need to do the sleeve buttonholes, topstitch the lapels, and press the shit out of it. Then my tweed jacket is finally done!

To be honest, I didn‘t listen to a TON of DEADHOUSE GATES while I worked because the last week has all been fiddly handsewn stuff I wanted to focus on—and because, unpopular opinion coming up, I liked GARDENS OF THE MOON more than this one. Still, I‘m invested enough to tackle #3 in due course. #audiosewing

xicanti Please pardon my dummy‘s bra. Whoever made it assumed no one on this earth has ever had breasts bigger than a smallish B-cup (an assumption shared by many fashion designers, which is a big part of why I started sewing in the first place) and this is the only way I can properly test the drape. 2d

lil1inblue Excellent work! 😍 I love your solution for testing the drape. That's actually genius! 20h

Finished book 4. Not much happened till around the last 100 pages.

While I‘m not enjoying this series as much as I‘d hoped I‘m still planning to continue as there‘s just something about it that makes me still want to know what‘s going to happen.

wildwoodreads You‘re better than me. I dnfed it at book two. I‘m interested to see how it ends but not committed enough to actually read it 😅 4d
BacklistReader @wildwoodreads I think if I didn‘t already own them all I would stop when I ran out of books. But then there‘s just something about it that keeps me reading even though other than the first one I‘ve been bored for most of the book. 4d

The provisional sleeve-set went well on both sides, thanks to 8300 pins. Only seven more steps until my jacket‘s ready for its Parisian debut!

I‘ve made good progress through GARDENS OF THE MOON, too. I like it a lot more than I did the first time I tried it, but I don‘t think it‘ll hit Love status. Still, most people agree this is the series‘ weakest book, so I‘ll look forward to the next one. #MFMarch #audiosewing

Mimi28 That‘s really cool!! 2w
xicanti @Mimi28 thanks! 2w
Butterfinger I love following your progress. 2w

Starting the weekend with a reread since the second book in the series has been sitting on my shelves for more than a few months. I remember liking this the first time I read it. I think I‘m enjoying it even more this time!

Continuing The Wheel of Time Series.

This is book 3 and of the three I‘ve read it‘s not my favorite but I still want to know what happens next.

This one felt very much like a set up book but we‘ll just have to wait and see. I do have plans to pick up book 4 The Shadow Rising very soon.

An audio copy of WORDS OF RADIANCE came in for me 12 weeks sooner than scheduled. I‘ve been listening as much as possible so I can finish it in time to also squeeze in a holiday romance before Christmas, which meant it was time to break out the Mustang puzzle I‘d been saving for a special occasion. Now that I‘ve seen 50 years of Mustangs all in one place, I can confirm the ‘69 is 100% my fave. I only wish they‘d used the orange convertible here.
