Small things

mandie_rwFor the past couple of days, I decided I needed a small break from hand-sewing 18thc stuff, so I hauled out my old favorite hobby: reading. (Nothing exciting or new, just re-reading books I already own, but very pleasant all the same.)
Then today I decided to get back to the Bastille-Day-sewing, so I finished hemming the dark-brown sash I cut out two days ago, to wear with the gaulle, and finished up the bits of the neckline that still needed to be sewn. Also did the eyelets, yay. (And yes, in retrospect, I think I'd rather sew eyelets than bind tabs on stays!) That's all, but at least now I can try the gaulle on properly to mark the hem...and fit the sleeves. Ewwwww.
