sewing marathon
In the last several hours I've pretty much finished Marmie's bodice...I just need to put the lining in one sleeve, attach the sleeves, arrange the peplum thingy and put a few buttons on. I am so tired, but now I don't have to stress over this tomorrow (This needs to be done by Tuesday night and I can't work on it tomorrow evening or Tuesday at all). Yay for easy bodices that can be bag lined! I made a whole bunch of basic mistakes sewing the bodice together, though (oh, you mean you're not supposed to sew the left bodice piece to the right shoulder of the back piece so that the collar is where the armscye should be, and accidentally un-pick the side back seam instead of the wrong shoulder one? *headdesk*). I'll blame that on Bleak House ;)
G comes for a final fitting of the 1830's dress tuesday afternoon. Cross your fingers that it fits her without any problems! Ditto about Marmie's dress.
I want to try to make a hat for Victorian Elegance on Saturday. Um...we'll see how that goes.
