Stupid stomachers.

mandie_rwI sewed together about 75% of the stomacher for the pet en l'air tonight - the original in Costume in Detail and PoF1 has a mock stomacher - it fastens with hooks and eyes at CF, but I have had about enough of 18thc things that close at CF, and want something different. Plus I don't have large enough pieces of the cotton damask to make the tabs that way - in one piece- anyhow!
So, I sewed tabs on a stomacher instead, and then decided it looked stupid, as I can't cut and sew things like tabs straight, so there was a noticeable (to me) difference in their size. And I decided the tabs can go to hell.
Am going to dig something else, probably totally non-matching, out of the Stash to make a stomacher instead. I would have liked to have the same look as the pet en l'air in the books, but eh. I don't care all that much. Well, now I get to go through all my books and decide what I want the stomacher to look like...mwahaha.
