mandie_rwBut it's my birthday!
(This was the excuse for everything all day today, and I leaned into it, including making doe eyes at Tom to clean the shitboxes for me tonight. Totally worked. Yesssss.)
Did not Improve The Home, either; I forgot that I'd made plans to see a friend this weekend. And I'd thoughtlessly said "oh, you should come over here!" so having the living room in utter disarray with paint and wallpaper all over the place wouldn't have been the best idea.
I'm just full of excuses! Hey, they're good ones. Maybe next weekend...
I'm dragging my feet a bit on the 1885 dinner dress skirt ruffle, as it's at the NEVERENDING point, and I would like it to just pleat up and baste itself down, please. I'll take over again after that. It's just over half pleated-and-basted now. Ugh.
I did reattach the cream sack jacket trim, though! Yay for doing something? Think I'll shift goals this week to finishing the fixings on that outfit, so it's all out of the way and complete for the 17th. I still haven't entirely decided if I want to wear stays and make a stomacher to go with it, or embiggen the jumps so I can wear the equivalent of historical sweatpants (lol). Should dig in the silk scrap bin to see if I have anything that remotely matches the jacket, I guess that might help me decide...
(ETA: Current fit of the stays says I should either fix up the jumps or perhaps just make new ones. Also, note to self: if you're going to do 18th century again, you're gonna need a new pair of stays...)
Sewing goal for the upcoming week:
- Finish fixing the 18thc cream silk jacket/outfit to wear for the 17th!
