More kitty sewing

The Kitty got open-crotch drawers today ! They have french seams on the legs, overlap at the front and back, and are closed with a button and buttonhole in the back. There's one place in the fabric which has been teared in repaired, which I only noticed after I had put the lace on and tutti quanti... well, period underwear got mended the same way, after all ! ;)

Tomorrow : the chemise. I'm not sure I'll resist the pin tucks sirens...

I tried to run a few errands on yesterday's list today. With no success. Tambour embroidery is not widely spread enough for notions dealers to carry tambour hooks and specific books on the topic around here. And they had the grommets, but only in a packagning that did not include the setting tool. Which of course is not in my possession. May I say I find it a little weird to carry a certain size of grommet, but not the tool to put them into your clothing ? *rolls eyes* I'll have a llok at another notions dealer I know in town, but after that I'll be doomed to make handbound eyelets... *sigh*

heileen or any local tambour-embroiderer, where did you get your tambour hook ? The closest place I can order some is in Germany, which does not bother me too much, except... well shipping would cost less if the seller was based in France.
