Very little progress
The lower sleeves are basted on the A.D. They look just like the un-staged pic of the dress that
jennil sent me, (Thanks again for that) , long monkey arms!
I started on the regency shift, but my sewing machine was making sick clunking noises and tangling thread. It took me an hour and a half to find the lint ball that was stuck in the works, and discover that the top thread wasn't in the take-up lever. Doh!
When I did get things moving, I managed to over trim part of one of the seams to the point of not being able to flat fell that part. Now I'll have to bind it with bias to keep it whole. Grrrr.
Tonight I hope to finish the shift, and move on to the pad.
Oh, and I cut out a reticule. I'm thinking of doing a simple embroidery motif just to make it cute.
So still to do for the 31st:
Attach lace to E's bloomers (I love that word. Makes me giggle like a school girl)
Finish shift
Plain petti for E
Reticule
I think that's it.
The fabric I got off Ebay came, and now all I can think about is Polonaise! Must get 1893 done first!
