I've noticed that Monday brings several deep sighs to me recently, and today is Monday. Full weekdays ahead of me feel something hard to manage to me. So I need to diffuse the dull mood in me.
When people engage themselves in some work vigorously, passing time is really easy. It even passes without much consciousness. I definitely need the situation like that, and for me making something is absolutely going to be the one. The picture above is the dress that I hand-sewed last summer. I liked to hand-sew my clothes after I lost one of my most beloved cats last June. Just living days felt too hard for me at that time and I needed some distraction. Then I started hand-sewing and it really worked for me. Hand-sewing takes more time than using a sewing machine, and I put myself in kinda meditation like emotional phase between stitches. I felt really calm and peaceful. But after I'd done with 5~6 works, I fell in the situation that I wasn't able to concentrate on making. It was just because of some physical reason, and by now it has gone. So now is the time to restart making.
I have a few yards of black linen cloth which has been ready to be worked with since last summer. Black linen... cool, isn't it? So I want to make something sweet with it. (FYI, the dress in the pic was made with mocha linen. I love linen.)
