ouch.
i was thinking of going to the bonfire. infact i as thinking of visiting. but the day after i got back from camping, i pulled a muscle in my back, and it seems to only be getting worse. combine that with an abnoxious cough that i've had for the past 3 weeks, that just got worse this past week, i'm for the most part, and invalid--at least i am for this week. seriously, i can hardly walk. even sitting is uncomfortable. i don't know what to do with myself. i have several things i could be sewing, but since i don't feel good, i don't feel like doing them. i think it's time for a nap.
pockets are sewn, and fabric is dyed (as seen in the background):
next they need to be sewn to the waistband/ties. it's probably take me about a month to get around to that because it's a small lat detail needed to produce a finished item, which always take forever to get around to.
green linen will be used for an outer petticoat. the excess fabric will be used for stays, i think. though i really wanted to make them brown. i'll have to see how much fabric they use in comparison to how much i have left, i may be able to dye some brown.
i know what allison's thinking..'enough with the green and tan already' (you've said it before). and i quite agree with it.
i am going to do some research on caps and see if i can make anything up. other than that, all i can really make till i have patterns (ie, stays, mitts and stockings). i could make a chemise (pattern). i am going to make it from white 'tissue linen', but that implies getting off my ass and going to joanns, which i am not up to at the moment.
i am going to make the bedgown from an original pattern (manteau de lit). but i need stays for the right measurements.
