mid-month check-in

(You should know that I am distracted/busy/random, so if someone with a better sense of time feels like making check-in posts at various points of the month, please go ahead.)

What have y'all been up to sewing-wise?

Today I attempted a janky curved seam for practice! This mainly consisted of me chanting, "Parallel to the tangent to the curve...parallel to the tangent to the curve..." to dubious effect. XD (Photographic evidence in comment to this post.)

For a practice piece like that one, on plain light-coloured fabric, you could just use an ordinary pencil. That’s what I use for my muslins (which I make from white cotton poplin) and for my shirt collars (which are interfaced with white cotton interfacing).
