Have decided that the best way to deal with my exploding bodice front is to not deal with it. koshka_the_cat reassured me that maybe it's not actually exploding (or that it mightn't explode further), so I'm forging ahead anyway. Forging-ish. All I did today was pin and repin and swear at the bertha, and get one half actually sewn into place. Tomorrow's my last day off before Gettysburg so I really really need to take advantage of that!

And finished Robin's "Unfrortunate Biggins" nightcap, which is how I shall forever refer to it. Thanks, Drunk Me. Machine sewn, which I am positive she'll be completely horrified by. Hey, I hand sewed the edging and ties on?

She told me I look like a sad Pilgrim, which...yeah, okay. It's very entertaining to me how very 16thc this mid-19thc cap is! It's directly taken (well, slightly enlarged, as I don't see the point of a winter nightcap that doesn't cover one's ears) from one of the three mid-19thc cap patterns easily findable online. I forget which magazine, but I know it's 1859 (look it up? nevah! well, not right now. maybe in the proper writeup). I have one for myself, too, but mine's linen and hand sewn, with different lace. Which I ought to be sewing ties on right now. Let me go do that...
