Making this Cossack opashen is like cooking Indian food. It's exhilarating, and a little scary, and even if it's a total flop I'll be glad to have gone through the process.

I am going completely and utterly pattern less for the first time ever. No looking up pdfs online or anything. I have a few decent photos of man-sized examples, and I am making one for a 3 yo based on those and my gut. Bruce is referring to it as "some hippy dippy do what feels right sewing".

So far I did a muslin mockup, made Robby sing "5 Little Monkeys" while I pinned it up on him, cut the red linen, and cut the blue faux silk lining for everything save the sleeves. I wanted to use that so blue it hurts color, but apparently that shade is only available in actual real silk, and, again, this is for a 3 yo. I got a close approximation in synthetic, and I love the tomato-colored linen.

I plan on working on this until I crash, Alec wakes up, or school lets out. Robs is out with Bruce this afternoon, so that's one less thing to juggle.
