70 skirts in a day!

I have an interesting job. I am paid by the city. My position is in a private school. My responsibility is to the city. The school benefits from the city placing a practitioner in their facility. Stage set.
The school is in the final weeks of preparation for the year’s musical production (every four years this is produced). The costumes have been cut. The pieces delivered by the parents to the school. Plastic bags everywhere. Yesterday an ancient sewing machine was delivered that has not been used in years. (It was not tested.) No one in the school knows how to sew.
The machine does not work. I took it apart. Cleaned and oiled. Still does not work. OK This morning I brought in my machine and sat and sewed 70+ skirts and started on the vests. Sweat shop.

I finished the shawl!
My first knitted shawl.

I am now working on shawl clasps. Or what used to be called sweater guards. Finding the hardware is difficult, may have to fabricate it myself.

This wears like a cape. Is soft and has a gentle drape. For the security I want a little something to fasten when walking outdoors. I am so very pleased with my first attempt…errors and all.
