1860s, day 34827
Nov. 12th, 2013 10:49 pmFirst snow flurries of the season this morning! I rather gleefully took a walk to the mailbox in it, because I'm twelve and snow still makes me happy. I do like winter!
I laced the corset up and tried it on before work, and the fit in the bust and waist is quite good. The less said about the rest of it the better *grumble grumble grump* but it's potentially fixable if I want to take it apart after Gettysburg. SO not worrying about it now, because it doesn't matter how my corset fits in the hip...let's all give a cheer for hoops!
And tonight it's cold in the sewing room, which could have something to do with the fact I decided to start my nightgown tonight. Cotton flannel; o fuzzy happiness! (Yes, wool would technically be warmer, but I don't own any wool I want to sacrifice for a nightgown. Cotton flannel I paid less than $1.50/yd for, sure.) It's natural-colored flannel, because I don't have any white, and I couldn't really allow myself to buy any white flannel when I have this perfectly good 18-yard bolt of natural just sitting there!
(Did I mention some of us in the cabin decided it would be fun to have the weekend be All 1860s, All The Time? Hence the 1860s nightgown. Not hard at all; I'm just ripping rectangles, gathering things, and sewing them together! But not exciting enough for pictures til it's finished.)
