Paletot is DONE sans frogs and it needs a good lint rolling...pictures when I get the frogs. But for now I just wanted to be proud that ONE of the garments I need for Gettysburg is done.

MUST make:

Ballgown- Skirt is done, bodice needs boning and eyelets

Day gown- using ballgown skirt, bodice not touched

Paletot- Just needs frogs!

mandie_rw's sontag- halfway up the back

Would really really really like to make:

~~Giant shawl~~ - DONE

~~Sontag~~- DONE

Sortie cap- body is knit need to bind off and gather

Wrapper- not started

flannel bloomers- not started '

Three weeks to go....starting to panic!

Current Mood: pleased

To console myself for having to miss the pumpkin tea this year I actually did some sewing.

All that's left is sewing on the frog closures, the band around the bottom of the sleeves and fixing the back oops...

What back oops you ask? Well when I shorted the waist I had to shorten the waist on the skirt too to make the curve match...and then my plaid became unmatched and I ended up with a very strange stripe...

Ooopsie...but overall I'm pretty pleased with it. It's very cozy. Tomorrow I'm hoping to fully finish it. except maybe the frogs as I have to buy those at work. And I don't feel like going in BEFORE work to buy them then go home and sew them on then back to work. so everything BUT the frogs tomorrow!

I've actually been a bit productive lately. I worked on my ballgown bodice yesterday. I got the piping put on the neckline and then decided I thought the point was tooo wide as per the pattern.

I played a little with it in photo shop and the consensus was definitely better if I thinned it out a bit...and I shortened it 2" I know the super long point is period, but I'm so short waisted that the absurdly deep point messes with my proportions.

Ta- DA!

Then at 11:30 last night I realized that my yet unstarted paletot would be PERFECT to wear on Halloween at

madamekat's to pass out candy. So I pulled out the pattern last night and fished the pieces out of the tissue. So far today I've gotten the fashion fabric cut, the interlining cut and now I'm taking a break as my back was NOT happy with an hour of standing over my too short cutting table....who thinks I can ACTUALLY make it before thursday night?

Current Mood: chipper
