Nothing to do with christmas though. Well, it is, in a way. I wanted a thick wool bushshirt like the Twodogs one, so I dyed a wool blanket and passed it to my sewing kit, which is also known as my wife Tracy She promised me the shirt by Christmas. Since then it has sat on the kitchen table for 6 weeks and more.
Today she started cutting it out, using my excellent BilmoP5 bushshirt as a template.

I'm getting a zipped neck, with a handwarmer pocket that will also contain an inner pocket big enough to hold a mobile phone, and a long tail so that when I sit down it will keep my bum warm. She is also talking about using the remains to make a hood with a coif to cover the shoulders.
She repaired my hammock chair too!
I'm so excited!
