(no subject)

I skipped dance class tonight to stay home and sew. Im going to miss the next two weeks too (panic-packing and the same day i get back. Nope!) I did, however, make good progress these past 2 nights.


  • buttonholes and buttons on waistcoat
  • sleeve fluffles on sacque (3)
  • ribbons for sacque
  • closures galore!!! (hook and eye or bar on 3 pieces)
  • buttons on redingote
  • hem on redingote
  • finish stays these still need eyelets for the straps, but close enough!
  • put darts into bodice
  • make skirt (hem, cartridge pleat)
  • attach skirt to bodice
  • put ties on pocket hoops
  • shorten sleeves on wholly inappropriate shift
  • low priority: sleeves for italian gown
  • Somehow make 3 or 4 more caps
  • shorten quilted petticoat a bit


The waistcoat buttons are coming to work tomorrow, and my skirt is comung to my friend's game night for stitching. I wanted to do a machine blind hem but it was carching both too much and not enough.

Slowly but surely...

I have to admit, I'm a little jealous of your progress! I feel like I'm getting nowhere... :(
