sewing...ish
Welllll, not on my poplin dress much, til tonight. But I did finish ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
miss_philomena's spoon bonnet that I promised to make *mumblety*-months ago, so, you know, that's a Thing. Have to wait to see that til it's on her head though. ;) It ended up a little more spring-y than expected, and it's not exactly spring...but flowers are TIMELESS OKAY?
And then tonight I tried on the poplin bodice - it's actually a hair on the roomy side, but not horribly so. Also measured for the skirts, since this is a waistline and petticoat combination I haven't done yet, so didn't want to completely guess. (Corded 1840s petticoat under an 18thc quilted petti, if you were wondering! Either is about the same amount of fluff, so I can wear the velvet and wool one if it's cold, taffeta if it's not.) Then measured, tore, and sewed the skirt panels together; now I'm somewhat-distractedly hemming it.
