cold yick

 sooo I woke this morning feeling crappy. Scratchy throat, throbbing head...crap. I spent most of today napping. I didn't get everything done yesterday either...double crap. Well we'll just keep plodding but it's looking very likely I won't have a red wool bodice for Friday day. Which means either A. I wear the same day outfit two days in a row. B. I wear the red wool skirt, with Rob's 18th century shirt and a sontag like I did last time. C. I wear my beloved wrapper, only downside is it doesn't fit over a hoop. If all I was making new was the ballgown and the alphabet dress I'm in pretty good shape...so we'll have to figure out my plan B for Friday.

Ballgown
-whip up bottom piping
-sleeves- made up need to be attached
-bows- strips sewn and turned, need to be bowified.
-waistband on skirt
-attach skirt
-bone bodice

Alphabet dress
-bone bodice
-cut, sew, paint bertha
-dye shoes
-sleeves- cut and sewn, halfway through painting the letters
-print cardstock letters
-tiara?

Red wool dress
-um whole bodice
-attach bodice to skirt

Chemise
-second half of hem
-button/button hole- I found a button! this is tomorrow's sew-at-work project
-wash to try and remove stains that are there before I even wore the damn thing. Stains did come out!

Odds and ends
-actual hooks and eyes on velvet bodice
-sew buttons on velvet bodice
-shorten fancy dress hoop
-waterproof shoes
-finish fringe on wool shawl

Tomorrow's a 12 hour work day so my goal is just to get the ballgown skirt on a waistband. That should be doable.
