not 1860s sewing, oops
Somhow I got a bee in my bonnet that I wanted a new dress to wear for Thanksgiving. I'm tired of all my skirts, and most of my dresses are summery (because they're easier to make. Less in the way of sleevils!), so instead of going shopping like a Normal Person, I...well, went shopping, but for fabric! There's a cotton print at work I've had an eyeball on for months, and since that calico's quite On Sale currently, I bought some along with my dollar lace last night. It's a slightly obnoxious, very retro-60s type of print that is probably ugly to lots of people, but I have a weakness for ugly retro prints. And it's very fall-colored, so Thanksgiving's a perfect excuse for it!
Anyway, that's what I cut out today. It's a simple shift dress, so barring more Things To Do That Cut Into My Sewing Time (so rude), I can probably get most of it put together tomorrow.
