Back to panniers

I set aside the infuriating stays for a moment to focus on getting the second set of panniers done.  The linen is not as stiff in this pair, and I’m using a slightly different design – it will be interesting to see what the differences are.

When doing things like hoops, it’s invaluable to have multiple sheets of transfer paper, and a good tracing wheel.  (My favorite is the needle-point wheel)

And while I was looking for a good link for the tracing wheel above, look what I found!  This handy tool, called quirkily enough, a “Roll-A-Pattern”.  I’m thinking this handy thing might have to come and live in my stash some day!
