You can never have enough...

[Oh_hunnihunni]

It really is silly having these long weekends all rolled up together at this end of the year, no wonder we feel we are reliving the previous week. Still, having just done my regular Super Tuesday budget and accounting it looks as if I will survive the coming fortnight, despite my love of a frivolous frittering, without robbing the tiny savings account just yet.

I had fallen for the idea of making an overstitched patchwork jacket, very simple kimono style cut, along the idea of the many gorgeous examples I have come across on Pinterest lately. And then, all of a sudden I noticed I had the perfect fabric in an op shop score Morgan & Finch quilt that I have draped over the back of my chair. It is 'Indian' style paisleys and tile patterns in gorgeous bright pastels, and being a double would have enough fabric to make into a jacket, flat fell seams, overstitch quilted, already lined, so much less effort than going from scratch - but would I have the courage to take my gorgeous sharp fabric scissors to it? And would I be able to get over its previous life if I did make it up, or would it just languish on a hanger because it was too 'duvet ish'...

Best I just stick to my denims!
