robinsnestSo Gettysburg is rapidly approaching. Like in a month and a bit. O.O oh dear. I NEED to make a ball gown, figure out a fancy dress, and a bloomer dress....yikes that's a lot. Okay I guess maybe I need to figure out how to re-invent my old ballgown as a fancy dress.
Step one for all of this is I desperately need a new corset. I made my old one (which is too short and has never really fit well) in 2008...aka 20lbs ago...yeah.
I bought the Redthreaded new 1860s corset pattern. Today I got it cut out and carefully basted the fashion fabric to the duck layer. Tomorrow I'm working a 12 hour day so I wouldn't expect any after work sewing. But Thursday my goal is to insert the busk after work...
If I don't start with regular updates someone smack some sense into me!
oh and somewhere in there I need to clean out my sewing room so it's presentable for company....
