Stupid daylight savings.

Well, as I figured, my Grand Plans were overly ambitious, and I hardly got anything done. Hanging out was much fun, though, and I did finish A.'s stays and started the petticoat. That's about it though.

Then yesterday I decided to try on my polonaise-so-far-even-though-it-has-no-sleeves. (Dead camera batteries, so no pictures.) The bodice fit well (whew), but the skirt looked a little skimpy. Hum. So I measured my blue anglaise's hem, then the new gown's hem, and what do you know? I somehow managed to make my new gown 30 inches less wide than I meant to. Hum. Dammit. Not that hard a fix, as I still have plenty of fabric and I only have to take the skirt off and re-pleat it. But annoying. Very annoying.

Needless to say, I chucked all my 18thc stuff on the floor and went to bed. I think I want to make a couple skirts for everyday use and maybe one of the 1940s Vogue patterns I have. I have all the fabric already, and meant to make this stuff over christmas, but of course didn't get round to it. Well, we'll see.

And I slept until 3 this afternoon. I blame Daylight savings, as I went to bed before 1am last night. Completely ridiculous!
