Welcome to Day 42! As a Douglas Adams fan, this is my favorite number (as well as my former Roller Derby #!).

The Hitchhiker’s Guide’s guide advises you not to panic, and I’m not going to. I know just the thing to do for this frumpy robe! 🙂

THHG also says:
“The chances of finding out what’s really going on in the universe are so remote, the only thing to do is hang the sense of it and keep yourself occupied.”
I decided to occupy myself by making this robe into a pretty top! First, I chopped off the bottom right where the pockets began.

Next, I pinned the raw edge under, like so:

Then, I sewed it under.

I pressed my new hem, and now I have a lovely silk top!


I wore my new top for a night of Trivi-Yeah! at The Whig, where my team did surprisingly well. 🙂


Team “Poking the Stiff Kitten” won the free beer round (oh yeah!) and came in 2nd place overall! I feel victory is imminent next week. 🙂
Cheers!
