Vaguely grumpy today, as I've started to really think I won't be able to finish K Parr in time for the ren faire. That wouldn't be the end of the world, as obviously wearing it to faire has been relegated to a secondary reason for making it - I'm making it for me, and faire is incidental - but I was still looking forward to preening there, I will admit! I'm a slow sewer, and I won't cut corners on this just to have it done for faire.

Anyway, foresleeves. I finished hemming the slashes (turning the lining and outer fabric edges under and then whipping them together), hemmed the rest of the sleeves, and now I'm sewing the second one together. So they're done apart from puffs and ties. Which I suppose means I have to fix the farthingale tomorrow. Grumble grumble grump.

It would suck if you weren't able to finish in time for the faire! Would you still be joining us if you don't? (A group day at the fair would still be fun!)

it is a very sewing intensive project and YOU need to be happy with it. Honestly, I think my Anne dress is the most expensive thing I have made, so I wouldnt want an end product I don't like.
