The seed catalogs are arriving steadily, I’m trying to decide what to order for a market garden. There’s a little shop that buys from local growers, but it’s such a tiny shop that I don’t want to overwhelm them with too much of one thing, or be trying to sell them the same thing as a dozen other growers. I’m open to suggestions about that.
In other news, I unburied my sewing machine and started making more everyday clothes with it. Most of my sewing experience is with costumes or doll clothes, but I was getting sick of the stuff I like to wear being so expensive, so hard to find, and so badly made! Last Sunday I made a pair of comfy stretch pants and Monday it was a cotton brassiere. I’m going to need more fabric. I have piles of it but it’s all costume-y stuff like satin and velvet. Fun, but not for everyday wear. I’ve been looking online and discovered that it’s actually pretty hard to find a place that sells 100% cotton knits by the bolt. If I wasn’t allergic to polyester I could get stretch fabric by the ton.
I’m feeling more and more driven to get my house built. I think I’m going to want a place to hide.
