threadwalkerTo summarize: I'm not done. heh!
Done:
corset
Hoops
close to being done:
Doublet - need to move 6 eyes of the hook and eye variety.
Almost done:
skirt - needs to have some trim whipped down, have the side seams sewn, and the top finished off. I started over and cut it down on Sunday. Right now it's safety pinned together. I suppose, technically, I could wear it safety pinned up the side seams ... that's kind of hysterical in a "D'Oh!" sort of way. heh!
Not quite done
hat - needs hat band and feathers attached and gimp put on brim.
On the verge of being done:
ropa - needs front closures and hemming.
sort of started:
linen underthingy (cut out but apparently I overestimated my size by a tremendous amount, so it needs to be cut down significantly)
To be started and finished before some undesignated time on Saturday:
caul (need to dive into garage and find stuff I'm sure I have for this)
ruffs (found some directions for ruffs on internet and got the supplies)
Guess how my lunches (when I'm allowed to have them) are getting used? lol.
Basically, almost nothing is done, but everything is close to being done. Normally I'd be cracking my teeth with stress, but I'm feeling pretty up-beat about it. When pinned together it looks pretty cool. Plus, I'm working on sewing bits at night with my new copy of BSG. I'm working my way through season 1 and I still think 6 is a skank and Starbuck is hot. Apollo is painfully GQ. Daddy Adama is a powerful presence. I like how they cast Boomer.
Off to D'Salia's tonight to mark hems. do-dah, do-dah. She started her Ropa Sunday afternoon, discovered she'd left her sewing machine foot at the wrong place, and only had the materials and hand-work supplies. So she cut it out and started putting trim and pearls on it. Yowsa! It is beautiful. As of this afternoon, she's done except for her hem. Pearls, trim, construction, etc. She just blows me away.
Back to the salt mines.
