How Sausages Are Made

Heat wave today!  Panic in Wisconsin.  Above are a few pictures of my work today:
stuffing (with organic kapok), and sewing up new ragweave pillows.  I thought of a sausage factory.

Speaking of, here's some fun summer reading that cheered me up.

Summer dress

Fun to sew a new dress, this time using Japanese fabrics, from Kokka (Melody Miller's Ruby Star Rising collection). This dress has hidden interior pockets inside the large patch pockets. Dragon flies in the medallions on the front. It's 95 in the shade today, the perfect day to wear a new summer dress.
