Yesterday I: finished a pink fichu for the IKT, and added some length to the World's Ugliest Nightgown (I made it too short for last Gettysburg, and had cold shins on the walk to the bathhouse and was not very pleased about it). Turned out to be waaaaay too much length, so I put a few tucks in it, despite feeling slightly like I was trying to gild a turd.
Put the last tuck in WUN today ("I don't CARE, it's just getting a giant hem!"), hemmed it, and put a slightly less ugly ribbon tie on the collar. Also tried the wrapper on over it, and yes, it does still fit...good to check that now. Heh. So I can cross all things related to World's Ugliest Nightgown off my list.
After dinner I started putting together the bodice for the green and fuchsia day dress - after I found all the pieces, which took a while. One had managed to migrate under the sofa. Sneaky. Sort of slow going, as I had to basically finish the "bolero" fronts that go over the vesty bits before I can sew the side seams. Need to baste those front layers together, and tack down the side back seams, but it's a decent amount of progress.
And I finally picked up the second boa to finish off the second winter hood for the shop. Sort of tempted to keep it for myself (so fluffy!!) but I don't like how it would coordinate with my paletot, etc. Also definitely tempted to trim my own hood in marabou, rather than the rabbit I bought for that purpose. We'll see!
I'll take proper pictures and list it tomorrow, but here's a silly one for you.
