still sewing, ehem.

I sort of forgot that my youngest cousin's high school graduation was today - not completely, but enough that for this entire week I've been thinking of Saturday as a sewing day and thus being only somewhat motivated. (Sotto voce: It was not a sewing day.) Plus I went into school for a couple of half days to help the art teachers pack up their classrooms. Art teachers, they have a lot of stuff! I was overly efficient and they kind of ran out of stuff for me to do the last hour and a half on Thursday, but yay efficiency? Spent the rest of the time being chatty and ingratiating. (PLEASE LIKE ME I WANT A JOB HERE)

Anyway, packing up Art Stuff meant less time to devote to sewing! Especially when I wanted to do some of it on the machine...

So, short story long, I'm still sewing! Almost done: I'm just attaching the neck band & ruffle to the partlet body and that's done. I did make pin-on long sleeves, and I did not starch my veil. May see if we still have spray-on starch lurking in the laundry room after I'm done with the partlet; if not I'll just be droopy-veiled, NBD. This is very much a trial run for this part of the outfit! We'll see if the too-long waist on the kirtle drives me completely insane and I have to take it apart and shorten it...

Forgetting stuff like that is annoying. Fingers crossed that they like you and push for you to get hired! And good luck with getting the outfit done in time, or enough of it done enough in time!

Last minute sewing is a tradition in our house.
