Thinking about what to do with the 2.5 metres of linen twill. Yes, I'm thinking of making another walking skirt, and could either keep it plain or add nice contrasting details in black, which would go with pretty much all my black clothes... But also, am I bored with plain walking skirts? What kind of black details? What do I want?
Have rested fairly well last night, but my executive function has suffered from using it on more critical things these past two weeks. And I just want to crafts 😭

Maybe if I just make a nice plain walking skirt and then decide if I want to put anything on it. I certainly don't need another jacket, there's too much for just trousers and vest, and there might be enough for skirt and offcuts to use for interfacing. Who knows.

The fabric is thick and sturdy enough that I could probably try soutache on it without it ending up a horrible bubbly mess. I've wanted to try it, but also kind of hate most soutache braids being polyester, but also recall seeing a cotton one somewhere... Would be ideal if I remembered where. 😅
A flax beige with black soutache along one side would probably be pretty striking, so I wouldn't even have to worry about symmetry, just slap some on there, let it get out of hand.

Have located a tiny narrow soutache tape in viscose! I'm not going to get it yet, but that might be it!

@sinituulia I was going to say “a few years ago I have found a source for 3.5 mm soutache in viscose, which isn't as great as it could be, but at least it's not dinosaur feed plastic”, but I see that you've already found another source
yay for soutache!
