Back!
I'm back home! It's always so nice to come home. My dad and I got all the important furniture for my apartment. It's a pretty nice place that has just been renovated, so all the bathroom and kitchen stuff is all new and the floors are refinished. It's also really close to the historic downtown and only a 10 minute walk to campus. Good stuff!
Problem is that it put a bit of a damper on my sewing. I got most of the binding on my Regency stays sewn during the trip. I couldn't sew it all because when I was trying them on before I left for this trip, I realized that the left strap was too tight and I need to loosen that strap just a touch. It dug into my shoulder hard enough to leave a red mark; not good. Plan for today is to fix the strap and finish off the binding. Hopefully I can also get the gown patterned and maybe even partially cut out.
I also did a bit of tambour embroidery on my reticule. It's slow going though. I think to be more efficient, I need a real tambour hoop.
So, what's left to do for CoCo?

So, what's left to do for CoCo?
- binding Regency stays
- Lost Hope Fairy: pattern gown, paint fabric, cut out and sew gown
- finish Gala stuff: boning bodice, making corsage and hair ornament
- reticule: finish embroidery and sew together
- practice hair
- bonus: 1950s play suit (this looks highly unlikely)
