Felicity lends a paw

Published by The Dreamstress

Felicity was a big help with the waistcoat I just finished.  I couldn’t possibly have done it without her! Your buttons are way too straight and boring.  I can fix that for you. Nicely out of line now, but oh dear, one has gone missing!  Don’t worry, I’ll find it. I  will go to any length and depth necessary!  I will not rest until it is found!

So that’s my life (wiggles hand goodbye from under …

Thread Inspector

Felicity would like you all to know that while I have been working hard, she has also been working hard, making sure that I stay on track, that my fabrics are properly posh and lie-able-on, and that my thread is up to scratch. Oh, here is a new spool!   Looks OK… Rolls nicely… Smells OK… Nice firm bite resistance… Passed every test.  I deem this thread acceptable.  You may now proceed to use it! Whew!  That was hard work.  Naptime!
