Despite coming home and feeling very zombie-like (it was a busy busy day) I actually sewed! My goal had been to hem half the skirt facing up. In fact I got the whole skirt finished, facing sewn, waist band whipped down, HOOK AND EYE AND SNAP on the placket! OMG I KNOW! It's rare my skirts end up with closures...I'm trying...So that puts me a day ahead of where I thought I would be.

Plaid dress: Fit second mock up, cut out and assemble velvet bodice, all the billion bits of finishing, chemisette, under sleeves.

Sontag: I've been working on it at lunch, still not up to the decreases on the second wing but an inch or so farther.

Pineapple: untouched.

Tomorrow's goal is to fit the second mock up and possibly cut the velvet...depends how much fitting is required. And probably dress Polly for a skirt photo. Just as proof of skirt existance.

Pineapple?

I'm knitting a pineapple shaped purse. Very vogue in the early 19th century.

I can't wait to see pics! You should think about knitting a second one to sell too, probably would be lots of interested parties ;). Good luck with the getting ready sewing!

Whoo! Go you!

Keep on plugging away at it, you'll get it done!
