Fresh #CrossStitch 😁
Pattern by StephXStitch (from the book "Maybe Swearing Will Help...)

As always, I have taken liberties with the colours.

Current mood: I know that piece of lost embroidery floss is likely somewhere on the floor but I'm still stressing in case the cat decided to eat it 😭

I'm currently about halfway through restoring an inherited blouse and it's so threadbare I'm afraid it's all going to be for a couple of extra wears πŸ₯²

Done:
- sewn up a tear in the shoulder,
- sewn up two tears in the back,
- flipped the frayed sleeves in and added a new bias on one of them (the other is still pinned)
- added bias on the frayed neck

To do:
- add more bias on the neck
- sew the 2nd sleeve
- add some repair fabric on both sides to strengthen the repaired tears in the back

Cat:
- smart enough to understand that if I turn the snack tube around, the opening moves too and able to follow it seamlessly
- somehow not smart enough to realise that the tube is empty despite the fact that I roll it up as we go, tries to eat the plastic too
