I have done two great things today.

Firstly I cycled around 25K from Alphington to Pascoe Vale, onto Brunswick and back to Alphington. I've been in tracksuit pants and a windcheater all day. I feel like I should be going to gym only I've had more than my fair share of exercise for the moment.

Now I'm so tried I'm about to pass out, however the second thing I've done today is make a new dress and I do not want to go to bed until I finish it. I would have finished it hours ago except I decided to line it, which always adds time to the process. However it hangs so much better with the lining so I'm glad I put in the extra effort. All I need to do now is finish the facing and hem it and there you have it - new dress!

It's this dress in case you were wondering, the sleeveless version made in a soft grey twill that has a fine check running through it.

I still haven't seen the Supernatural finale, however I'm thinking I should probably see the rest of the season before I do. I might have a better idea of what's going on if I don't skip to the end like I normally do. Continuity and plot development and all that. Yeah.

Re Dress: Ooh how fabulous!

As for the bike riding - wow. I'm tired just thinking about it *g*

I wanted to see if I could ride to my friend's house in Pascoe Vale. And I can, woot!

that dress is the business! i'm in the process of unpicking one of my favourites (terrified beyond belief i'll never stitch it back right) so i can copy the pattern and make a billionty more in every fabric and pattern known to man. WIN!

I'm very into 60's shift dresses at the moment. With a nifty pair of boots and some opaque tights they're the gas!

I feel as though I've done a full day's work just reading your post. I'm certainly tired enough to account for it.

Well done!

This is the first weekend I've had entirely to myself in weeks and of course I celebrate this by going for a long bike ride and making a dress. Doesn't everyone?
