JJ Begins

We're having a holiday at home this week. Simon is back from yet another bout of interstate travel. He was given some time off work in lieu and so I took holiday time too, and we've had a lovely time sleeping in, staying up late watching movies, cooking and just generally pottering around.

I've got started on my JJ blouse muslin.

I cut a 38 and the fit is perfect with no alterations (yay Burda!), but that standing collar has got to go. It feels a bit tickle-y around under my chin, and how did I forget that I have really no neck to speak of? I can't be covering up what neck I've got with nehru collars. I'm going to draft a flat collar instead, with no collar stand.

I've been sewing it all up on my newest toy, a super little machine I scored on ebay, of which, more later...
