anielmom Well, thanks to a rip roarin' headache yesterday, I didn't get much of anything done. The only thing I did manage was getting the interfacing for the Archery Gown that I cut out Monday, fused to the pink fabric and cut out.
After doing that, I started to re-think my plan for attaching it to the black velveteen. I had originally thought to use the machine to satin stitch it down, but now I'm not so sure.
If I just cut out plain lengths of the black, without the pointy bits, and seam the bottom of the pink to those. Then I'd use the narrow black velvet ribbon to trim the top. I think it would make for a neater, and more period finish. What do you think?
So far today, i have managed to measure and cut out the smock for E's Faire Frock. I have to wait to get started on the actual sewing until I measure how wide to make the neck opening. Because I wasn't thinking when I made the overdress, the neckline will need to be more rounded that is typical, and will most likely need to be laced up the back.
Now, it's off to do the laundry, then a little break before I get back to work!
