Self-Stitched-September: Days 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 & 28

Ok, once again I owe you a major SSS catch-up post due to my continued lack of internets in the new flat. So here goes:

Day 22:

I jump at the opportunity to wear anything other than black, which a day off of work provides me with these days. So I donned my self-stitched red Beignet skirt, bustier top and Saint Cardigan (and self-stitched pants and leopard coat, which almost goes without saying these days) to explore the streets and pubs of my new home town.

Day 23:

Time to give the leopard coat a well earned break by unearthing my self-stitched gold curtain jacket (made several lifetimes and moves ago). This was used to and from work on top of self-stitched black sailor trousers, black T-shirt, Saint Cardigan and pants.

Day 24:

Continuing to dig the yellow/gold curtain jacket along with previously seen self-stitched black Jenny skirt, Port Elizabeth top, Saint Cardigan and pants. I apologise if the boredom of my garment repetition is effecting your eyesight or anything. I went out after work changing my Port Elizabeth top for my stripey T-shirt.

Day 25:

My day at work was too stressful, miserable and generally horrendous to be photographed at the end of it, so you must trust me that it was all going on in self-stitched garments. I’m sure we know each other well enough by now to know I wouldn’t lie to you!

Day 26:

I quit my job at the beginning of my shift of Day 26 with the intention of leaving that very day, but was subsequently wooed with promises of a reduced work load and more agreeable conditions so I agreed to spend a week reconsidering. This occurred wearing self-stitched black Jenny skirt, blouse made from Simplicity 3835, Saint Cardigan and pants.

Day 27:

On Day 27 I entered into negotiations with my boss which resulted in a far more favourable list of duties and conditions than I had even hoped for (shh! Don’t tell him) so I agreed to stay. This was conducted whilst wearing self-stitched black sailor trousers, black stretch top and pants (with Saint Cardigan and the leopard coat making their additional appearance). We went round some friends’ flat that evening so I changed out of my patisserie and coffee grain encrusted black stretch top into my black and red refashioned blouse:

Day 28:

My well-deserved day off is currently featuring my self-stitched stripey T-shirt and grey wool dress with mustard accents. Time to get some sewing done....
