Took time out today to do more boring alterations for money (you can't sew on a button yourself? Really really?)...I tend to feel slightly guilty when she's already paid me and I have a bag of her things to do...and I'm sewing for myself. (Only slightly, though.) So I got about half of them out of the way.

And then proceeded to make another apron. I bought a remnant of checked blue linen along with my box o'silk for bonnet-ing, intending to have an apron be one of my sewing projects For The Public tomorrow...but when I got the package yesterday, I decided it would be much better to wear it. Right? Right. So...that's done, apart from the last few inches I'm sewing right now. I've got two caps and a pair of linen mitts cut out; that will be more than enough to keep me occupied for 4-ish hours of sewing!

Amusingly, the forecast for tomorrow isn't actually Godawfully Hot enough to really require my unlined cotton jacket - high of 80. Hmm hmm. Dunno if I'll have another opportunity to wear it, though, as nobody wants to come to the battle of Monmouth with me, and I don't think I have another 18thc event this summer. HMM.
