New ideas starting up, and oatmilk

The new issue of Tatters came with a class on hand sewing a medieval linen shift. I'm not planning on taking the class, but the design is useful.

This could be adapted as a summer top, to go with the yellow skirt you watched me make a while ago. I have a piece of white linen currently acting as a curtain, that might work. Noted. Or a tunic with pants, using some of that batik you saw back when I bought the skirt fabric. So I'm studying the picture to see how to cut so it drapes well.

I also remembered the two Tshirt dresses that I've had for years,  rarely wear and could shorten easily for tops. With cut out designs. One's pink, one's blue. That should work. Easily. One cut, one hem  then do cutouts. If I do that I'll show you how.

Any or all of this will happen.

Meanwhile, closer to now, I came across oat milk, which I've never had, and I thought I could try making it. I don't have any food issues, but I just thought it would make a change.

No sooner thunk than did. Not really a recipe.

 One to three oatmeal to water, blend

Right, drained fiber for a future supper, middle, test glass, added a bit of cane sugar and vanilla essence. Left, remaining milk.  Pretty good. This will work for my golden milk as a change from dairy.

And I finally used the last of the pizza mushrooms, in an omelette.

Mezzaluna theme still going, with half a whole wheat pita bread. I do like that shape.

I'm also still going on, to my surprise, in the second in the Me before You trilogy, which is very readable, and drew me in quickly.

It's very easy reading, nothing to figure out or ponder on, just suits my current general mood.

Happy Saturday, folks!
