talk me off a ledge please
Jul. 18th, 2018 11:39 pmOkay I suddenly realized all the things coming up....
August 5th - great war event in ringwood, NJ:
-test corset? might have to wear my 40s girdle and call it a day as I made that corset 30lbs ago...
-corset cover? thought I might order a old lady nightgown and shorten it
-skirt, fabric is ordered, pattern bought. no sewing
-shirtwaist, half assembled. ordered buttons.
-Hat thank GOD amanda made me the bestest one ever.
September something. Belvidere:
-um dinner dress? I think I only got as far as ordering sleeve fabric? and ripping strips for ruffles. so I need dress fabric, fittings, like the whole damn thing
-buy rolled hem foot to make ruffles.
-wash yellow dress
-finish hoop for yellow dress
-put waistband on mostly finished petticoat from TWO YEARS AGO
-I'd really like to make a TV tea gown for sunday as we'll be there two days
Pimpernell dinner september 22nd:
-shirt, cut out and one seam hand sewn
-waistcoat, jacket, breeches. I can't even find fabric I like.
-order shoes
-stock, order fabric, hem.
I am feeling massively overwhelmed and I won't lie...a little panicked. I'm in a serious sewing rut and staring at a HUGE to do. So here's my goal. sew a little bit at least five days a week. and post here to keep me honest. Today I whipped down the facings and collar on my shirt waist. Tomorrow's goal is to set the sleeves in it, at which point I'm stuck waiting for the buttons. Then I guess I'll pick up Rob's shirt again as that's the other thing cut out and ready to start. And I suppose I could order a rolled hem foot for my machine, that'd be an easy five second project.
