Well, I did have plans to sew last night after I got home from work, but instead spent the night curled on the couch, watching Pan Am and trying not to die. Thank you, cramps.
Got home after Downton Abbey had already started, so I watched it today (YES, this important enough to post about EVERY WEEK), and can I just say this show will never cease to surprise me? First I wasn't absolutely thrilled about 1912-14 fashions, and it sucked me into that...and before today, I would have sworn up and down that later teens dresses do nothing for me, but seeing them on the women of Downton Abbey? Gimme!
Seriously, one of Mary's evening dresses from this past episode? I MUST HAVE IT.
Well, someday, anyway. After 1/ I get reasonably decent at fitting 19-teens, 2/ this season comes out on DVD so I can pause and zoom on Every. Single. Frame. of this dress, and 3/ when I have time for a long-term project of this scale! 2014, maybe, then?
Believe it or not, after spending a good part of my afternoon in 1916, I managed to get some 18thc sewing done! Probably because I got some playthings in the mail today, so it helped me focus...
( Pictures of loot and sewing... )
