Remember how I said I had to pay close attention to those sleeves so I didn't sew the piping in the wrong spot? Apparently I wasn't paying QUITE ENOUGH ATTENTION, as I managed to pipe the top-of the-arm seam rather than the bottom of the first sleeve section. So I got to rip that all apart today, which was fun. I decided to finish and sew the right sleeve in (usually I make them both at the same time, but I was suspicious about mixing them up because they're so similar), so, the right sleeve is in. It is...sort of wrinkly and uninspiring, actually. Puffy elbows are in fact fairly stupid-looking.
And I've got an open house at the Indian King Tavern to do tomorrow. I anticipate no 1830s sewing will get done, as I'll go in at 10am and stay til I have to dash home and get dressed for the J. I appear to be tired of all my cool-weather 18thc clothes again, too; I still like the cranberry wool but have been wearing it since 2011, and I feel like if I'm doing millinery demonstrations I should be wearing something a half-step nicer than the cream wool jacket. Which leaves me with the cranberry wool. Which I'm tired of.
If I'm not totally done with sewing after this weekend, I may try and bang out the not-plaid wool closed-front gown I bought wool for a few months back. That falls better into the nice-but-not-too-nice parameters I have for myself! (And a black silk apron. Because I want one.)
