hatses

Finished Robin's hat yesterday - I sent her pics but I won't show The Internet At Large yet, til the hat's on her head. It's extremely ridiculous though. My text to her involved "I really hope you wanted to wear a bucket of flowers on your head LOL." It's...a bit much for my taste but that should mean it's just about right for the recipient. ;)

Also worked on my hat a bit today - covered the underside of the brim with silk, and since my ostrich drabs showed up in the mail this afternoon I started curling them. I should have gotten the next size up - these are only 12" - but that's what happens when you order feathers at midnight, oops. That's fine, I can work with 12".

Also cut out my size of the TV 1898 jacket pattern. Was going to make a mockup, but after pinning the easy-pattern pieces together I decided it looks like they fit, let's live dangerously. I still want to make a mockup of the sleeve though, since that sleeve head is Large and In Charge! I know 1898 still has a fairly gathered sleeve head but this seems a leetle bit much.

And yes, I am going to have a million unfinished pieces of outfit instead of an outfit...why do you ask?

that's what she said.

That is NOT what *I* said, though...I can barely handle the average, no excessive trouser snakes for me, thanks!

Feel free to wipe up whatever beverage you may have snarfed just now...
