Gettysburg 2015 recap

Since Alice has helpfully posted her photos, there are now enough of my own silly face to make a recap not entirely photo-less. Thanks Alice! :D

So! Wednesday night I decided to stay up late and throw together a hood, because suddenly cold was going to be a Thing. (Nobody wants the ones in my shop so I could have worn either of them, but didn't like how they looked with my coat and dresses.) Bulk of it took about an hour (because yay machine sewing!), but measuring and cutting all the strips of rabbit took another hour! So I of course had some sewing to do in Gettysburg, but since I think Katherine was the only one, I didn't feel too bad!

Thursday I headed out to sewloud's place around noon, and we managed to shove her, me, koshka_the_cat, and alllllll of our stuff into one car. Wheeeee! Who needs to see out the back of their car, right? Katherine got these shots of it...

( Onward! Not for the faint of heart! )

And I would like to note that I started writing this post approximately 12 hours ago! Silly Thanksgiving dinner and eternal cleanup! *flops* But hey, now I can sew 1830s without (much) guilt! Still need to get pics of the marquee dress. May in fact wait til the Victorian Christmas tea at Smithville if we're doing that, though. Am bad blogger.

Today I, uh, made piping? And sewed it in the CF seam? I'm having a little trouble getting back into my routine! Though I'm at a bit of a loss nights after work, with no imperative hand-sewing to do! I'll have to get my stuff together so I have some. (I still, ah, owe some persons bunnits, so those would probably be a good thing to do!)

I'll call the Smithville Mansion people on Monday (since I forgot today, oops. Still in holiday mode) and enquire about the Christmas tea thing on Dec 13th, too.
