I'm trying to create a bodice block/sloper. I feel bad going through so much calico but I know it will save time and fabric in the long run.

In my "to mend pile": a pair of trousers which needs the legs shortened, a button down shirt where I want to flip the worn collar over, and one where I want to add extra buttonholes to the cuffs, because I like to wear cufflinks occasionally.

I have set some time aside for all that tomorrow and wednesday.
