cold yick

[robinsnest]

 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.

I know I'm in a different group but I only have one day dress. If I dress more than one day I'll be in the same dress the whole time. Take care of yourself and feel better!!

Ugh, sorry you were feeling icky.

On the plus side, you've made a lot of progress, so once you finish you'll have those outfits for the next event.
