Not much sewing going on around here! Shockingly. Main event sewing-wise this past week has been to get the Starry Night bodice sewn together, and start sewing eyelets in. (Two. I've sewn two eyelets so far.)

I sold off the pink silk sacque a week or so ago; I was waffling over listing it for the longest time (I still like it but I never wear it, wouldn't I rather have the money, but what if I want to wear it again, but we don't do any fancy events that really require a sacque any more...), and then the lady who bought my bird print polonaise decided to take it, so that ended my waffling! It'll pay for a majority of my Gettysburg expenses, anyway. There's more stuff I ought to put up but I apparently can't be arsed to list it, so. Will have to work on that...it would be nice to have Gettysburg paid for by My Old Crap! We'll see.

I'm sorry to see that dress go, I loved it on you. But you're right, there is a sad lack of formal 18th century events

It was a fun dress! I was sorry to see it go, but not quite sorry enough not to try and sell it, you know? xD (Amusingly, right after I sold it, I saw there's an 18thc masquerade at the Powel house in Philly at the end of October, that I totally could have worn it to! Ah well. As if I don't have enough 18thc dresses to drown me...)

I saw that, it looks like fun, but I was a bit turned off because it's a Thursday. Are you all going?

[mandie_rw]

I know, such a random night! Thursday, why??? But yep, half the cohort at least will be represented...Adrienne and I just recently bought our tix. Robin has work on Friday so she won't be going, and...well I have no idea about Alice haha. You should come if you can! :D

I'll try to come. Think 1790s would be ok? I didn't see a dress code.

[mandie_rw]

Yay! I've never been there but Adrienne says it's a really nice site. And I'm 100% sure 1790s would be fine...and that a good amount of people there wouldn't know the difference anyway. ;) I hope you can make it!
