I'm tickled so many of you like the bonnet...shame there was only one little hat made of that braid! :)

Today I had to get my butt up at a reasonable time so I could get to the post office before it closed. How rude, it's Saturday! Got the little straw brim maybe 2/3 sewn? but my left hand was getting cramped up from pinching the braid, so I left off with that. Shaped the crown of the woven hat over a plastic pitcher and left it to dry; we'll see how stupid that one looks tomorrow.

And then I dragged out the floral brocade sacque to see how bad I was at sewing things two years ago. Turns out, not too terrible, except the sleeves are slightly too tight and definitely too short. The former I can live with, but the latter just looks stupid. Off they come! Guess I'll be doing some sleeve head piecing *grump grump grumble* must look through my bag of very small scraps of this fabric. And since that sounded annoying, I'm going to finish the petticoat first.

I hope you finish it, I'm firing to see it.

I need to place a pretty big order with my millinery supply place (and have to take account of funds before I do), but rest assured, sizing to finish that hat will definitely be part of it! :D
