It’s been a sewing machine kind of day. I’m in the process of trying to use up a number of materials from my stash of fabric and trim, and this means completing a certain number of projects that I’ve had in the queue for a while.
At least, that’s what I told myself. In practice I could have done so. This stole took me a couple of hours, and that was only because I read the directions obsessively. Next time it will take me an hour and a half. Maybe less.
Because a stole isn’t really a ribbon around the neck. It’s really a bag. It’s four pieces of fabric stitched together left side to right side front and back, and then front side and back side stitched together. The result is a long, skinny bag, or maybe a tube. As I said, not very complicated.
And so my friend will have her stole. Not on time for her ordination, perhaps. But probably in time for All Souls Day. And that will be lovely.
Looks good!
What color do you want/need?
