Picking up where I left off

anielmomNow that E is back to her usual happy self, I have gotten back to sewing. Last night I started draping the skirt for the Archery gown. I think I have the front the way I want it but am not sure about the back. Because E was sick on Thursday, I missed my class, and so missed the demo/lecture on this type of skirt. So, I'm just winging it. I can't go much further with it anyways, I have to do some of it in class.
It was only 9:00 when I decided I'd taken that as far as I should, so I decided to get a start on my Modern Regency dress. I'm using the Sense and Sensibility pattern for this one.I've not made this dress before and so need to do a mock up. I had a few yards of black cotton hanging around that I decided to use for the toil. If it works out, and fits properly, I'll add some pink trim and have a bonus dress! I might even have it ready by to wear when I go with friends to see the J.C.'s production of "Pride and Prejudice", How fun would that be? I prepped the pattern and cut and marked everything, so tonight I will stitch it together. Maybe I'll have progress pics tomorrow.
I've also made progress on the patterning for E's Faire Frock. I thing I'm going to add curved side back seams to make it look a little more period.
That pretty much sums it up for now
