And sewing
Oct. 5th, 2014 11:50 pmWork was unpleasantly busy this weekend, so I haven't been up to a huge amount of sewing. But here's what's been worked on the past few days.
Stays: Slooooowly hand-stitching the horizontal boning in. I almost forgot about it, and had cheerfully pinned the wool to the fronts...when I remembered. Dammit.
Shift: I need a new correct-er shift with longer sleeves; that is, I want one for the winter. Having that 2" or so of exposed arm between my mitts and sleeves is just stupid, really. So I've cut the pieces for that and am starting to hem them whenever I get tired of puncturing my fingers on the stays.
And I think that's it. So exciting!
