mandie_rwSidetracked from my sidetrack...I'm so deep in distractions I'll never climb my way out...
I'm going to the NY Historical Society on Sunday, though, to help out my (relatively) new friend Eliza with a living history demonstration...type...thing. I am clearly very informed about what exactly I'm doing. "I can sit and sew a Thing? Sure, count me in!" Fancy was requested, though, and I rejected most things in my wardrobe for various reasons...finally I decided on the striped taffeta anglaise I made for the Trenton ball. I had to take the red silk trim off, though, as it's been sitting in a bin, quietly shredding itself to bits for the last six months. And then I had to add a piece to the front because OOPS it didn't fit with my stays more loosely laced. I'll be driving 2.5hrs dressed and wearing it all day, I'd rather not have a repeat of my last afternoon at the IKT.
So I just need to take the sleeve ruffles out of the cotton print jacket and tack them in this, and it'll be good to go. And then make sure my sewing stuff is prepped - I KNEW I should've bought some period sewing supplies! These reenactors are gonna judge me so hard...
...but at least I won't be in a fugly bedgown. *evil grin*
