November...it's glorious when the sun is out.

When there is time in the garden to do things like plant shallots.

And make a moon garden.

But it's statistically our wettest month here.
And dark.
And a month I find challenging. I suspect this year it will be especially so.
Last month I started thinking about a month full of black and white images.

That seems a bit much so I rethought my parameters: one post a day for November with a black and white (and gray) image.
Color where appropriate.
Sharing other projects when they are there to be shared...like today!

Making a pair of jeans was my sewing goal for 2020.
I considered a lot of patterns, but never settled on one. Thinking it would nudge me along, I bought some denim because it was made in California and meets another sewing goal.
Nope.
Instead I was distracted by another pattern...
Arthur pants (available at Sew Liberated).


I have never done so many flat-felled seams! I made pants pockets for the first time. They are super comfortable and, perhaps, more flattering than jeans.
They make me smile!
These are heading for the indigo vat and more fabric will likely be ordered.
As for the denim...well, it will make a great jumper.
P.S. Making something and getting outside was good therapy this weekend.
Deep breath.
