Someone on my Instagram list was sharing videos from another user about the "Kibbe" system of styling. I followed the trail for a hot minute - it's based on a book from the late 80s, written by David Kibbe, and his focus was more on archetypes. The poster who was sharing tips from it had posted an intro series and it wasn't super intuitive, but I was curious enough. The book is out of print and what copies are for sale are *ridiculously* expensive. Archive.org to the rescue! I didn't read it fully, just did the quizzes and read the sections that applied to me.

I started working on the Nicks dress, the silk is *wonderful* to work with, if a little shreddy. I'm using the mid-century Brother for it, which I think still needs some bobbin tension adjustment bc the top thread pulls it up quite a bit. I had lengthened the front with an FBA but did not remember that, so when I went to cut it off last night (after 9pm, bad news bears!) I think I cut too much. Grrrr. I also don't have an 1/2" elastic like I thought so I can't finish it until I get that.

Tonight is the very last hockey game of the season, the Stanely Cup Final! Think good things for us!
