So often there are blips along the road to finishing. With the ladies- I sewed up 9 ladies from pieces that I&#8217;d cut out and dyed before I left Boston; so more than 3 years ago. I stuffed this first one and &#8230; hmm. The head didn&#8217;t look right. I went through all the pattern pieces and remembered that I&#8217;d redesigned the head shape at some point. I&#8217;d traced the new design onto the fabric but years and humidity had disappeared the water-erasable lines. So, un-stuff this lady, retrace her head pattern, retrace on all the other ladies, resew, etc., etc. Onward. It is not a straight road!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/5-13-tattooed-lady-2-1-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18854\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/5-13-tattooed-lady-2-1-768x1025.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/5-13-tattooed-lady-2-1-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/5-13-tattooed-lady-2-1.jpeg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the ladies that I have ready to finish have some variation of a skeleton design for tattoos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/5-13-tattooed-lady-4-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/5-13-tattooed-lady-4-768x1025.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/5-13-tattooed-lady-4-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/5-13-tattooed-lady-4.jpeg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/5-13-tattooed-lady-5-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18849\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/5-13-tattooed-lady-5-768x1025.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/5-13-tattooed-lady-5-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/5-13-tattooed-lady-5.jpeg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/5-13-tattooed-lady-6-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18848\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/5-13-tattooed-lady-6-768x1025.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/5-13-tattooed-lady-6-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/5-13-tattooed-lady-6.jpeg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am working on more women but not the cozy pillow kind.
