mandie_rwOkay, you may notice that this is not the skirt from last weekend! The hat is still also Priority Status though; if I only manage to finish hat and skirt for the Longwood outing I'll be in fine shape. (Since I fatted out of my other 1890s winter skirt, and gave my hat to Robin, I really need to replace those! The rest of it - bodice, capelet, muff - is desirable but not vital.)
IG progress post here - it doesn't look like much yet, but I got all the hard stuff out of the way today - wiring, binding, and sewing the buckram pieces together. That's the part I don't like much; mulling, covering, and trimming are peanuts compared to wiring and binding in my mind! Well, okay, mulling's not that thrilling either, honestly...
Goal for tomorrow is to finish the mulling. After that I might start covering it, or maybe switch back to the skirt if I need a break from hand sewing. Or maybe pull out the lining from the fur coat. Who knows!
Also I've been enjoying some flights of fancy Costume-ADD today - which I won't post quite yet although I think I'm going to end up doing them both at some point this year. Neither of them will have a real reason to make them/place to wear them, but hey, that was how I costumed way way back in the mid-2000s, before I found local costuming peeps...I'm feeling more optimistic about making stuff without an event this year. At least right now. ;)
