That whistling sound?

It's the air leaking out of my head. I forgot to tell you about the awesome sewing kit Dave included in his fabric package.

Do you ever do that? You love something so very much that you put it aside for special consideration and then, somehow, forget to consider it? Was I this absent-minded when I was younger? I can't reemember.

Anyhoo - - This is an awesome piece of goodness. Dave made it using a magical process involving layers of brown tissue (Vogue patterns, to be exact) and secret, arcane recipes that produce a substance rather like stiff leather.

Then he added the compleate sewing kit lining, with pins and needles and pockets for spools of thread and little scissors and whatever, and finished it off with cords created on his lucet. Is this not cool beans? I am the lucky one, and am profoundly grateful!
