Home Industry: Sewing

Mmm. Sewing is a valuable skill. And though I generally dislike the process... I DO like the results...

And therefore despite the drudgery... I began working on my next costume... My War Between the States wear...
Ironing the fabric...

Cutting out the pieces...
And sewing...
New costume, here I come!

Exciting! Are you hoping to finish before the next ball?

Laura said...

Hannah - I will definitely do so. :O)

Kiri - Yes! Hopefully.

Geesh. I was planning to do my new ball gown for the next spring ball, but maybe I'll do it earlier if you're working on yours now. I already have the undergarments, so it's just the gown I need to make. Though I do want/need a new chemise... I don't like/use the old one at all!

Hmmm... The one problem is that I still haven't decided whether I want to copy of one of Emily Blunt's gowns in "The Young Victoria" or do an 1880s dress... Decisions, decisions...
