Long weekend
Wow, I have been terrible about posting. And I've been up to a lot. This weekend I mostly finished my new francaise, only needs trim and a hem.
I was going to try to finish it today, on my first snow day in years, But as I was drinking tea by the window in my jammies, I had the desire to work on something warm and cozy. Since I have a winter regency outing this upcoming weekend, I decided to try a wool gown. After spending a half hour looking for my grey wool before remembering that it was used for Gettysburg. So I decided to use some very unperiod dark pink/light red wool crepe and I lined it with polka dot flannel cotton. And after a few hours, this is what I have.
The sleeves are pinned on, but I should be able to finish it easily by Saturday.
