Victorian Torchwood - snow day sewing
With having an unexpected day at home, I have pushed on a bit.
I put the ruffle onto the petticoat to finish that off,
then sewed darts into the shirt.
I bought the shirt, but reshaped the collar and figured out the darts by hand.
Then I made up the skirt in sheeting material so I can check the fit. I just love Victorian tailoring. Oh yes, I have a tie now as well.
Tomorrow, as the school is closed again, I shall try and get the jacket sorted and fitted. Hopefully, these two unexpected days will mean that I am not rushing during half-term.
I also think I might be able to manage with the material I have. When I bought it, I didn't have the skirt pattern, so had the guess the amount. I can save yardages by using the sheeting material for things that don't show, like the pocket and the hem facing.
