I'm in the twilight zone

Ack I went to bed in January and woke up in MAY! it's 65 degrees and sunny outside! I missed the Francaise dinner, Matt's graduation, all my exams, papers and class work...maybe if I take a nap I'll wake up and it'll be January again? worth a shot right ;-)

Okay to help motivate myself on the Sacque lets do a little breakdown.

Things that MUST be finished by Saturday or I'm naked:

whip stitch down shoulder seams
bind back of the neck
sew down robings
hem
sew side seams the rest of the way down
hem front edges
turn under and sew down bodice lining
Make a petticoat
Stomacher

Things that I would LIKE to have finished

sleeve flounces
ruffle on the petticoat
SOME trim of ANY form
an actual chemise


hmm that didn't do much to make me feel better. I got up this morning and haven't sewed a stitch yet, I've just been working on cleaning things. Rob and I loaded up the car and went to the bank, put the last box of Christmas in the storage unit, dropped off a bag of donations to the thrift store, dropped three boxes of recycling, picked up my shoes from the cobbler and ate lunch. My Victorian boots are so pretty and shined now I want to wear them to the dinner :-p 

Holy Cow I sewed! I know hold your shock..

AND I made major progress on the cleaning front.  So lets have a mini update:

However now it doesn't fit Polly at all and I'm not sure if that's because of the differences between Polly and I or because I fecked something up...I'll have to try the whole get up on tomorrow to find out. Plus mark the hem and finalize the robings, and drape a simple stomacher.  *sigh* fingers crossed it's that Polly doesn't corset at all and not that I screwed it up somehow...cause if it's not I might bang my head into a wall repeatedly.
