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...
