I’ve been working on a version of Amanda Gorman’s Gucci cost that she wore on inauguration day.

Here Opal is trying on my first attempt:

So I’m working on another try. I’ve adjusted my patterns and cut them out of these old cloth napkins I picked up at the thrift. You can’t beat old linens!

Definitely wish I could go over to Mom’s and ask her to iron it for me. My patience for ironing is low but it makes such a difference. It’s the kind of thing I’d do with love for someone else but for my projects…I feel so meh about it. Sigh. I think mom would like this one. It’s so much fun to work with a border print.
