Sewing for Maja

On sunday I started a hand sewn linen shift for Maja which I finished yesterday. After finishing that I cut out a new cotte for her from thin pink wool that she can wear on sunday's picnic (It's the annual picnic at Ragnhildsholmen, a castle ruin from the 13th century I think). I sewed the straight seams on machine and have now felled all except ca 8 cm where the sleeve is attached to the body of the cotte. Today is choir, so I don't know how much time I will have to sew, but hopefully I will finish the felling and the hemming except around the neck. Then I need to make buttonholes at the neck slit, two or three, put trim round the neck and wrists and find some nice buttons. I think she can use one of her linen caps from last year, but it needs new ties. Shoes will have to wait until a later event, probably I won't make any before Kungahälla medeltidsdagar.

I must start taking singing lessons again

I haven't taken any singing lessons since I was 19, but I feel that I really want to do it again. I've been thinking about it ever since we started our choir. We only meet every second week, because we're all very busy, but I want to sing, learn and train more. There is no way I will have time until after I've finished my dissertation, but then I will definitely do it. I will be unemployed then, but maybe I can cut down on my fabric habit to afford singing lessons.
I long to sing more later stuff (as baroque and maybe even later! *gasp*). I know I can sing reasonably well and want to get better at it.
