1860s, all the time
Nov. 2nd, 2013 11:33 pmThat's what it had BETTER be for the next three weeks; I haven't got the time to be wandering off into anything else!
Yesterday I did manage to tack down the facing (or tack up, really), pin the third stripe on, and cut out the buckram pieces for a bonnet. Bonnet? Yes.
hiraimi,
dragoneyes19, and I are doing an exchange of skills. I'm making 1860s bonnets for both of them for Gettysburg, and Robin's knitting me an 1860s sontag, while Alice makes me a fancypants Regency reticule (not for Gettysburg!).
What do you think the odds are that I still don't actually trim my own bonnet...
And back to the paletot; tonight I sewed on the third stripe, and am currently working on the fourth, which I am determined to finish before I go to bed!
