Oh it's supposed to have a title?

Well Hello to anyone reading this


I started this in 2013, one of the worst most devastating years of my life, at that point at least. The year I lost the love or desire to read. I also lost my focus and ability to sew. It's now the tail end of 2022 and I'm actually sewing again.

I will allow this as a continuation of this blog (of which the original intent is wow quite abandoned), since I'm still working on historical clothing. I don't think this post is necessary, who gives a flying any way, but for continuity sake tis here.

That was the beginning of this year though so in all likelihood an attempt at this point would turn out way better. Here's a pic of a failed waistcoat and the breeches I made in the spirit of the design: Awkward photo-self is awkward.
