mandie_rwHad a day off today, so I thought I ought to work on something. And so I did!
I dug out my mockup of the pompom spencer, since I think that's what I'd like to wear for the Pumpkin Tea (and since the original plan was to finish it for the Pumpkin Tea last year, it's a good thing to get out of the UFO bin!). I've been finding spencer mockups all over the place...I seem to have made two others before the most recent one. I don't even know. I'm usually pretty organized with mockups &tc, so no idea how that happened.
Anyway, futzed with that all afternoon because there was one nasty wrinkle that refused to go away. I was getting very angry with it, when I accidentally ripped the side I wasn't fitting, while wrestling it on for the seventeenth time. And that fixed 90% of the problem. Whaddya know. Talk about dumb luck. And I got the collar fitted too, with only a little bit of angst. No sleeves yet, but I'm going to mock those up after I sew the bodice together (as usual).
Got all the pieces cut out and pinned together tonight, and I think I might try and put this together before the Gettysburg stuff, since the Pumpkin Tea is first. Or at least work on it at the same time, when I want some hand sewing - since most Gettysburg things will be machine sewn!
