I still have to attach the collar but the jacket/sweater is exactly what I wanted and fits me perfectly.
I ended up pulling all the fabric stash out of the closet and then restacking it in a way that I can tell what's in there. I ended up making the jacket out of some minky I found. That stuff is such a bitch to cut and sew with. It sheds all over every thing but it is so soft and cuddly and that's what I wanted. So I figure I'd use it up and never buy any again. I'll make one out of fleece, too, probably.
I got all my errands done and even remembered to get gas. By the time I got home I was fried. I love my air conditioner so much.
I picked up some heavy paper at Office Depot and the plan is to use it for the patterns I reuse most often. My swimsuit pattern, for instance, is a wrinkly mess. If I had a place to hang them up, I'd make them out of oak tag and get all organized like this:

Maybe this should be incentive to clean out my hanging closet. It sure could use it.
Baseball tonight on TV at 7. Maybe I'll watch a Suburbian murder before dinner. Yesterday, I watched an episode where Mrs. Hughes from Downton Abbey played the victim's wife. It was pretty disconcerting to see her in modern clothes with dark brown hair.
