Went online last week to xmas shop. Ordered a quilted flannel shirt for my dad at JC Penney and a separate one for me at Shepler's. Still waiting for the JC Penney. Amazon sure spoils me as far as my expectations. But what sucks is that Shepler's wrote back to say they were sold out. I hate sites like that. If you were sold out, why was I able to buy it on your site? Inventory control, people!
I'm looking around and not seeing cheap quilted flannels that I like well enough. I suppose I could try to sew one but I've already got a pretty deep pile of sewing projects and haven't even set up my sewing machine here (or, rather, it's covered with clutter because it's a horizontal surface).
I had started a bit on a project to make a Baroque riding habit. That one is really involved but not event-sensitive. I have a Regency event I've bought tix for in January and would like to sew something to wear so I don't have to show up in street clothes. And I still haven't finished sewing soutache on my velvet Monte Carlo cape and then sewing the lining in. Probably have a load of mending to do as well. Like my favorite flannel shirt (it's red and white like an Italian restaurant tablecloth) has worn through in the shoulder so I need to fix that somehow. And sew up a rip in my pareo.
