Doc Martens.

Sorry for the crap image. Taken with my phone again.

Lug-soled eight hole Doc Martens, men's size eight. Sold via the ICN for $25.00.

I bought these at Ragtime about six years ago and have only worn them a handful of times. They have moved on to someone who will actually use them.

Fabric.

Pink gingham and black and grey damask stretch fabric, both given to Kari.

OK, first of all, can we talk about how freakin' cute Kari is? Go ahead, I'll wait.

...

Seriously, she's ridiculously adorable and so photogenic. I love the pictures she takes for the blog and it's cool that she's in one of mine now! She was helping to motivate me to clean while I was packing and purging, and took these two pieces of fabric. Now that I think about it, I think the pink gingham would make a really cute top from one of those patterns I gave her that I posted about yesterday. I never used it for anything because although it's a knit it doesn't really stretch. The black and grey damask I've had for years; I used part of it to cover three 10"x10" stretchers to use as art in my new apartment, and Kari is possibly going to use the rest for part of her Hallowe'en costume. Hooray!

Patterns.

Two sewing patterns, both about ten years old, given to Kari.

More stuff from when I worked at Fabricland. I got these with the "free pattern a month" deal staff had at the time—not sure if that's something they still do or not. If you work at Fabricland, I hope that's something you get! However, I'm never going to make these. Hopefully Kari will!

Clothing.

Green satin Allison Taylor top and turquoise with black and white 1960s style Joe Fresh dress. Given away to Kari.

With my new (mostly) vegan eating habits, I have lost about 15 pounds. These are both far too big for me. The dress I've seen as too big for the last three wearings or so. I just had a hard time saying goodbye to it because it's one of my absolute favourite pieces of clothing. However, knowing that it's going to Kari (which means I'll still occasionally get to see it) makes the parting easier. Same goes for the green top—I wore it a lot last summer, and loved it, but it's really not flattering on me anymore. Luckily it looks a dream on Kari.
