I'm hanging in Rob's office while he finishes my second "travel by map" bit for my Williamsburg vlog and then that sucker is done and I can post it! WHEEE that was my biggest goal for today. Second goal is to get a mock up made for my black spencer for Emma. But that requires taping the pattern together and Rob likes if I keep him company when he's doing for work me....so farting on the internet it is!

The delivery notice says my wool from B&T came and is in my mailbox...I should go get it but slippers...I sprung for fancy broadcloth as I only need a yard and a half. No way I could afford a dress length or Pelisse length but for a spencer should be sharp...Here's my inspo.


It's from the Kyoto institute. Adrienne very nicely patterned me a collar when she was here and I bought the black snail pattern to use as a base. I think it'll work well...I hope.







I might try and angle the front of the spencer up a bit to get that nice curved waist. 

Oh yeah and I need it for Emma in a week and a half..totally doable right?!

The collar and the buttons up the sides are darling.

Totally doable! (I mean, I wouldn't get it done, but not everyone takes over a year to sew a 1920s slip like me. ;p) The collar and all the buttons are super cute!
