mandie_rwNo fun pictures today, mostly because it looks like I didn't do a damn thing to that hat! Well, hardly anything, anyway. And I put in a good two hours of basting and PINNING (endless, endless pinning) on the brim! Don't think I'll work on it any more tonight, since I can tell I'm getting sleepy-stupid early tonight...
And I did get some more of the bodice done in between class and work today. I've got a nagging suspicion I might have made it slightly too small, and I do not like this. Don't want to try it on til it's all hemmed, though - which might seem counter-intuitive, but 1/ the silk frays when I wrestle with the bodice, and 2/ I sure as hell am way too lazy to put the stays on at the moment.

I've been packing--I packed up all my sewing save for my pocketbook kit, which I've been trying to get a few stitches in every night.
