maybe if I post more I'll sew more?

I'm struuuuggling here with the motivation for Gettysburg. Besides Amanda who is definitely bringing the inspo it feels like most of my group is re-wearing or done or making-under-duress. JESS SHARE MORE I KNOW YOU'VE SEWED A BUNCH and I'm just...slogging. But perhaps if I'm better about talking about it I'll be more inspired to sew.

so far the only thing I've touched is my rational dress. and to be fair it's the only thing I NEED

I've mostly made a very questionable pair of pants. But really you're only going to see from the knee down so who cares.



Also I just cut the same length Alice did...spoiler alert I look like I'm 7 and wearing my dad's pants. She got waaay more leg than me.

I didn't feel like putting a waistband on them so I skipped that and started the dress portion. I mean it's all got to be done anyway right? I basted in the half lining and sewed the pieces together. I had to whip down the seam allowances over the lining as it frays like a mofo. Tonight I cut out the bias strips for the edge finishing and a wider bit for the hem facing.

To Do:
- pants waistband
-pants buttons
-hem pants

-finish CFs
-finish neckline
-sleeves
-hem

I had said I wanted this dress and the body of Amanda's shawl done by Halloween. hahahahahahahahahahahahaha At least the shawl is coming along well.

lol Your face in that photo! I feel you with the too-long pants. I'm pretty sure everyone ever has way more leg than me.

The shawl looks pretty! Clearly you need to make another one for your pup.

SHAWL SHAWL SHAWL

Ellie is a very good model.

And I love your dad pants. I'm so excited to be a bunch of Rational Manly Ladies this year. Even if I'm not currently actually sewing my rational dress lol.

Sewing concurrently when all have similar end dates makes sense to me. Better to be sewing something than having one step gum up the works.
Shawl looks good.

That shawl looks so fabulously squidgy - I just want to scronch it up in my hands!

Yay for irrational pants?
