Sewing was rather light today, as I was busy for much of the day dealing with laundry and yard work and such, but I did get several things done:
made over a much-too-large T-shirt, so that it fits; also replaced its designer logo with a reverse applique flower, in an Alabama Chanin sort of style, but with crochet cotton instead of buttonhole thread
adjusted the straps on my swimsuit; this turned out to only require untying the knots I had made in them before
shortened a tank top to be only a tank bra, which is replacing a nursing bra that was very worn out
shortened the sleeves on a long-sleeved T-shirt to make them three-quarter sleeves (which I find more practical for frequent handwashing)
sketched patterns for a long A-line skirt and for a baseball cap
cut out and started hand-sewing a felt hat (just out of synthetic craft felt) to wear while doing yard work, until I make a baseball cap to replace the one that fell apart in the wash last week
