alystenYesterday was remarkably productive. I am currently ahead of schedule. Linen is going down, garments are going up. Today is technically a sewing day off, but if my lungs do not start cooperating... there will be no fencing tonight (for the record, breathing is NOT overrated).
I have been struggling with down time. I was filling the bus/car rides/hanging out with people with the waffenrok embroidery and then favor embroidery. I think I found my solution... I can work on sleeve ties. Those pesky things need to be hand sewn as I am not using cord. I need 8 ties (4 bows) per sleeve, I have 8 sleeves, and I can get one done per bus trip. In theory, I can get them all done in 32 days. One down, 63 to go.
And I have just come to the realization I need more buttons. Finding good quality, boring metal buttons is hard. Sigh... its always about the buttons.
1. I finished the Pickle Dress (minus closures and sleeve ties)
2. Crimson Dress: completely cut out and ready to sew.
3. Pants: created pattern and cut out 2 pairs.
4. Bear Dress: removed the offending bodice parts, cut new bodice parts, completed edging on one sleeve.
5. Favors: 5 blue cut, 2 white emblems sewn.
6. Misc: went shopping for notions.
7. Zot: still heppen', this time champion's favors and my scissors. At least it's not the hot iron this time.
