In addition to the scapular, my petite friend brought a deacon stole (she's also a deacon) which was quite a bit too long for her. Fortunately there was an easy way to shorten it at the shoulder seam without interfering with the design. It only took about an hour and I'll be able to return it to her on Sunday. Altogether a very satisfying day.
Today I met with a new friend to discuss creating a scapular for her. She is choir director and organist in a Methodist church, where she wears an alb under a narrow, straight tabard-like scapular--about a foot wide, has an opening for the head, goes over the shoulders and hangs straight with no cincture. When she sits at the organ it hangs straight down in back, very simple and stately. She was kind enough to bring me her red scapular as an example, exceedingly helpful for measurements. So we get to collaborate on a new, white scapular, giving me an excuse to--you guessed it--visit the fabric store in Houston. Yippee! tomorrow I will pick up my granddaughter Catherine, take her to lunch and fabric grazing; maybe I can talk her into coming to Eagle Lake overnight, which would be really fun.
