starting Gettysburg
Did I mention on here they cancelled Belvidere with 6 weeks notice? how about that it was like one of my top three events? or that I had JUST bought fabrics?...well they did...*insert a lot of pouting*
Yesterday we had a little sewing gathering at my house and![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
miss_philomena , hirami , mandie_rw , blackcat452 and Tessa-who-is-not-on-dreamwidth came over to help inspire me out of my rut...I made a baked brie with my peach and rosemary jam which was delightful.
I got...minimal sewing. I had already gotten the panels of my orange plaid 1860s ballgown skirt ripped and sewn together. Yesterday I inserted the placket and got the hem facing done. All that's left is a waistband and hooks and eyes and half of one of my outfits is done. (I know the massively easier half) and I copied the TV ballgown bodice fromhirami again. Next is to buy the Redthreaded corset pattern and work on that. I am SO horrifically overdue for a new corset.
Today was a 12 hour work day so no productivity...I did manage to scamper outside and watch the eclipse. we were in the 80% band and while it was cool I'm told the experience was nothing like the zone of totality. Sad we couldn't figure out a trip, but just wasn't in the cards.
