Not only a couple of rather stoosh coats, but I just forced myself to get on with three small jobs from the crate of shame that have been waiting for years to be tackled- an unravelled narrow hem on a favourite skirt, finishing the waistband on one of those never-finished-items from my last SWAP collection [ a gorgeous red linen iteration of a favourite Vogue pattern, V8750-or was it 8858? Dunno, they are rather similar!], and put a reinforcing tape into the waistline of a pair of D's jeans after she'd unwisely cut off the waistband [I could have told her THAT was asking for trouble]
Of course none of these took more than ten minutes to complete, but I really do HATE repairs and such.
The red skirt was not finished because of the general eyesight and stress issues I had due to COVID lockdown.
Here are a couple of links to the blog posts I did back then. All the items I managed to complete are in pretty heavy rotation, which is great, as it was meant to be a SWAP that dealt with some basic wardrobe gaps.
