A Crafty Weekend

I’m keeping myself on track to finish my Halloween costume by posting updates every Monday. This week I’ve transferred my pattern draft to tracing paper and then used it to cut out the pattern pieces for my muslin mockup. By next week’s update, I’ll have  pieced the muslin together and used it to make any corrections to the pattern (and hopefully start cutting the real fabric).

How long did all this take?  About 125 minutes (the runtime of Captain America).

But that’s not the only craft project this weekend. I ended up baking sourdough challah for my housemates for Rosh Hashanah. (I learned how to do six-stranded braids here).

One of my housemates rewarded me handsomely by giving me a link to a French “Call Me Maybe” relyricization for Rosh Hashanah:

Shana tova!
