Sort of! I took a one-day post-event break, and then dug out a UFO to work on - a new pair of pocket hoops. The ones I've been using were intended to be "experimental" (are cable ties efficient boning for pocket hoops? maybe if you double them, which I didn't); I think I made them in 2009? They tend to get squashed if you put too much weight on top of them...the pink sack just barely avoids squashing them. The brocade dress decidedly squashes them. And I think I cut out the pattern pieces for these new hoops...two years ago? At least a year. So that's what I've been picking away on for a couple of days.
Of course, there may be a change in plans for the dinner; I might have a commission for a museum to do soon (and all thanks to
madamekat! she's got CONNECTIONS). There aren't any set due dates for it yet, but obviously that would take precedence over any personal sewing. And I still have a lot to do on that expensive sack to get it wearable. So I'd still like very much to have a new dress, but I make no promises at this point. Will keep you updated!
(I'd best make sure I haven't got too fat for the pink sack...that would be an unpleasant day-of surprise!)
