Plot twist: because this was a mockup, there is actually a couple inches of spare seam allowance in the center front. However, utilizing it would require resetting the center front godet, and expose more of the patch job I had intended to hide in the seam allowance, neither of which I much adore.

I'm layering some fusible web, and original fabric to cover gaps left by the disintegrated threads. I decided to go ahead and also add small squares of stabilizer on both sides of the neckline, because that area is under more strain than should probably be trusted to 2 layers of silk habotai.

My first step was to disassemble the area, and press it, to get an idea of the damage. Right where the seam ends, I can see that the warp threads have pretty much given up on life. The pull needs to be stabilized so it doesn't get worse, but I'm averse to seaming in a new piece of fabric. So...

I really need to stop buying alcoholic beverages that purport to taste like baked goods. It just doesn't work for me.

Pumpkin Pie PSA: it's ok to just use premade crust and the recipe from the back of the pumpkin can. It's delicious, and easy. My one fussy concession is using a crust shield, but one could do the job with foil. This recipe is for 2 pies, but is easily halved for just one. #pumpkinpie #psa

It only took twelve years to get my husband @bauser.com dressed up for the Ren Faire, but I wore him down eventually! (And made him an outfit.) #MichRenFest #michiganrenaissancefestival #costume #renaisssancefestival
