I feel like I am falling off the planet!

Great to see you Kate! (If you ever made a quilt using scraps from all
your garment projects, I wonder how it would look!)

Dicey have been busy, which is good. And I thought my latest adventure
would amuse...

This is a doublet for a customer:

20 body sections
20 tab sections
10 tab linings
4 yoke pieces
2 front interfacing sections
4 back lining sections
4 front lining sections
2 pocket pieces
1 collar piece
1 collar interface piece
1 collar lining
2 wing pieces
2 wing lining pieces
2 wing interfacing pieces
1 loop at the back of the neck

I make that a total of 76 bits of fabric, and the thing had no sleeves!
I'll post pix when it's done.

Meanwhile y'all be good now...

Oh my, Kate! :O *76* pieces?!? No wonder you've been busy! I hope this
customer appreciates all the work involved.

The expression 'Dog's breakfast' comes to mind!

Colours in every hue from Ogre Snot Green and Medical Problem Brown to
Christmas Tree Tinsel gold and eye-exploding leopard print fur, and
every fabric type from cobweb fine French lace to bomb-proof corset
coutil, via Harris Tweed and swimwear Lycra! I'm not sure how we'd
accommodate the 5/8" flat steel hoop petticoat boning, the curtain
weights, or the 2" wide plastic luggage buckles...

It's good to get my nose in the door here.
