I think three months is a record, but I have a few pretty good excuses for not updating. We closed on our new condo in early June, I began rehearsals for a musical, and then I got covid! I was sick for over two weeks, had to drop out of

September’s selection is the Blanc Tee from Blank Slate Patterns, which is free with any other pattern purchase there (or with a Facebook signup, I think). I made a size L graded to an XL at the hip and cropped it by removing 4 inches total from the length. I
