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

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

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

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.

Yay for progress!

If it doesn't fit, can you widen the stomacher?

Somehow I doubt you'll be nekkid come Saturday. I think you'll get it done!
