On the sewing front, the Italian camisa is slowly taking shape seam by backstitched-with-linen-thread-seam. In another few weeks it may be together enough for me to tell if more gores will be needed, though hopefully not. Working with linen thread has been okay - not nearly as nice as silk but still a step up from evil unnatural fibres.
And speaking of unnatural fibres, I'm using them to make some Christmas presents. It felt both decadent and dirty to walk out of Spotlight with 100% artifical non-medieval-looking brocade and dancetime satin. The machine should be coming out of the box tonight and after that it's back to the purity of natural fibres.
