Suddenly finding myself needing to re-do my corset is very annoying. At least it's almost done. I need to do the eyelets down the back, insert boning, sew down the gusstets, and put on the hem bindings and I'm done. I should be able to get it finished tonight. God willing it will still fit. It's not like I've made any new changes to the pattern, so it should be ok, it just looks freakishly small around the waist. So much the better I suppose, it will keep fitting me once I drop these last 10 pounds.
It's gotten cold and damp rather quickly this year. This sort of weather always makes me yearn for my spinning wheel and a nice pot of tea. Sadly, this is not to be just now. I can't sit and spin for hours and hours until I get some of these projects done.
My goals for this week are:
1 -Finish the replacement corset
2 - Cut out and sew blue ball gown bodice
3 - Finish Mrs. Gaskell's new bodice for the old dress
If I manage all that, which isn't that much, my plan for the weekend is to:
1 - Make alternations on new Mrs. G dress
2 - Finish off blue ball gown
3 - Go on underwear making bender
4 - Cut out blue and yellow reception/day dress
5 - Dress up the WM dress I found on eBay if it shows up in time
Still, I just want to curl up with a book, my cat, the boy, and some tea. That would do more to sooth my frayed nerves than anything else I can think of. Of course, I wouldn't be getting anything done so maybe it's just as well not to think about that...
