I'm adapting my #DandyShirt design to ready-to-wear in standard sizes.
If you've followed me for any amount of time, you know that I have Thoughts™ about standard sizes. Not nice thoughts.
But there's no escaping them now.
I may need a Silkwood shower when I'm done here.
Now that I’ve recovered from the shock of current silk fabric prices, it’s time to stitch up fresh toiles of Raye’s slopers. We had a great virtual fitting yesterday. Now I need to confirm all of the pattern alterations.
Also, I get to try my new rotary cutter!

Out sourcing kaftan fabrics today, and I may need smelling salts. The freshly imported Italian silks are now $160/yard. They were $80/yard last year. And $40/yard the year before. I’m so fucking done with this absurd grift that we call the U.S. economy.
Am I the only old stoner who finds all of the premium flower less and less enjoyable for having ever increasing amounts of CBD? It’s only the budget brands that seem to have <0.05% CBD* for at least the past year in LA.
*Any more than that and I can feel my pulse in my teeth.
Summer approaches which means that it’s time to start sourcing fabrics for this year’s kaftan commissions. First stop is the secret silk loft at my local, International Silks & Woolens. #sewing #fashion
