totchipandaI spent a bit of time planning this morning, but then I did some measuring and ripping and ironing and then a whole lot of hand stitching and now I have a mostly finished petticoat :) It needs a hem still, though I did pin it up and try it on with shoes but no stays or other undergarments, and trimming. I think I want a self-flounce and a bunch of ribbons or something, I haven't quite decided, but I'm quite pleased with my efforts. The only real downside is that sewing a bunch of fabric in my lap is decidedly hot but it was just under freezing and snowing on and off today, so that meant I couldn't open my window for very long :/
Tomorrow is Cooking and Eating Day, so I probably won't get very far on the rest of the gown, and this week is full of other engagements. On the other hand, I won't need it until the summer, so there's really no rush, except that I don't want to lose momentum, and I also want these things done so I don't have to spend any time at the last minute to do so. Getting too old for that crap!
