Sewing scrubs - I even have some hockey fabric I bought for scrubs - and
then stopped needing them. But those are quick sews. Sounds like you had
fun. Enjoy the sewing.
Believe me, I know how spoiled we are here with a really good fabric store,
and there is also a sort of high end garment fabric store in McLean (I try
only to go when on a real mission, otherwise, who knows), and actual
needlework stores.

Is Her Fearful Symmetry a standalone or a part of a series?

a standalone.
It's not a mystery; it's a fantasy/ ghost story. (And maybe more surreal
than fantasy.)
