Oh so productive today! Sort of.

Remembered to actually take pictures and list the new bonnet first off, so hooray for that. And it's cute! I may be converted to soft-crown bonnets yet. ;) (Nevah!)

And then I decided to indulge myself and work on the pelisse pretty much all day. I finished basting the bodice pieces and got them all sewn together, cut the skirt pieces, and started sewing them together. I got to the point of "why aren't I machine sewing these long seams, again?" within the last half-hour or so, which meant it was time to put it away for the night!

I haven't actually fitted anything, just went "hmm, liked the fit of my black spencer, will base the bodice on that" and "hmm, probably want it an inch or so longer than my cream striped wool dress" and cut and sewed accordingly. So if I'm pulling my hair out when I actually try the thing on, we have documentation as to why!

Stop making cute hats I want to buy but can't right now! ;-) Just kidding! :-) You are making super cute hats though!

The pelisse fabric is very nice. I look forward to seeing the whole thing. I'm a sucker for green silk too.

Thanks! I just can't resist a rich, jewel-toned green! One of my favorite colors.
