totchipandaBirthday part on Friday was so good, she was very surprised and there were lots of laughs. And the doggos!
Saturday I left the house to get coffee cream and otherwise stayed in bed. I had two naps. I put the sleeves for my sweater onto the needles, but they aren't arranged the way I would like for them to be arranged for knitting two-at-a-time, so I put them away for now. I played an hour or so of video games. I played *a lot* of mobile games.
Sunday was much the same, only I moved to the couch. In the morning, I saw that The 100 Day Project was starting NOW!! I've seen a local friend do it before (twice, or maybe it's 3 times now) with cross stitch projects so I was already aware of it and interested. I have put zero thought into it even 24 hours later, but have started with sewing.
While I got coffee cream, i bought another spool of thread. I went with Coats & Clark bc Gutterman only had the large spool. It's not *quite* as rich in colour but it will do. Later I discovered a partially wound bobbin for the Janome so that will help. But did I sew that on Sunday? No, no I did not. I was sorting a few things at the sewing desk and found the Regency stays pieces with the gussets pinned on. Great! I started stitching with the Janome until the bobbin ran out and switched back to the Singer. Jenny did not like the combo of thick fabric + pins, but Beatrice was just fine.
I went to insert the bust gussets and they were just comically tall, and I remembered that I wanted to shorten the stays from the top so I might need to lower the slits anyway. So, I'll wait until I can try it on again before doing it. I only got the hip gussets in and sides sewn to the front. Next up is adding the busk pocket and the non-seamed boning channels, which I will do tonight.
Stays are obviously not going to take me a full 100 days, so I think my project will be to build a habit of sewing every day. I have these days, the dress, a shirt cut out, another shirt planned, trousers planned, culottes, so many things. It's easy to get bogged down and do nothing because where does one even start?? I'll keep it easy for now. A little bit every day.
