Just a little bit of sewings accomplished lately - a silk charmeuse tankety-thing to wear under over-thingies. Why did I not realize until I was trying this on that the design forms horizontal stripes? Hmmm..I think it's neutral enough that my own horizontality will not be emphasized. I didn't use a pattern, just measured off an Eileen Fisher tank that I like a lot and experimented from there. You can't see it in the photo, but I cut the neckline a little too wide. I added a little gathering in the front to pull it in a little. I'm pretty happy with it!
An orange tanky-thingie is in process. It's being made from a beautiful orange silk and cotton voile from Mill End in Portland. It's mostly done, but I'm still fussing with fit, length and bindings. Final photos to follow!
Also, a couple Hattie pictures. She's lately become interested in carbonation and loves to ponder the chemical wonder of it all:

What an intelligent, and beautiful, cat! Your chemmy is beautiful too!
I love all the things you have sewn. I think the tanky-thingies are lovely.

Thanks Pam! Now if only the weather would be a little warmer so that I can wear them....
