Hat is about half-silk-covered, which is Not Too Bad. Thanks, long weekend! So annoying that school is a thing that keeps me from sewing. Work is dumb.
I also took a break from the stabby-stabby-in-the-fingers to work a bit on the skirt. And totally press lines into this wool, because lordy does it want to be babied. I've pressed it in between two towels and it still shadows through a bit. Whatever, stupid plush wool. Fuckin' fight me. Towels are all you're getting. And it's got to be manhandled going through the machine because it's so plush and fat it will not feed evenly. (I realize a walking foot would probably help here. Don't have one. Still giving Joanns the stink-eye.)
All that, and it's still verrrrrry nice fabric to pet! With the panels in my lap I felt like I was wearing a very pleasant blanket. And also on the bright side, I don't think I'll need to overcast the seam allowances inside the skirt unless the lining silk starts fraying to hell - which to be fair it very well might.
Next weekend goal is to either finish the skirt or the hat - pretty sure I can do one or the other, pretty sure I can't do both. Either would be very acceptable, though!
