frualeydis | Sewing something

The best help against feeling down is sewing something. And not what I need to sew for the kids, because while finishing it makes me feel accomplished it doesn't make me happy in the way I need now. And not something modern, because it's too complicated and I have enough of that anyway, and it means bloody zippers. But maybe something totally unnecessary from the 16th century? I just wonder what fabric I should use; a lot speaks for the red velvet, since it takes up a lot of space, but maybe Valeria wants it for her gown. I think I'd better phone her and ask (she's with her dad).
