week's progress

 Yesterday I went out in costume with undycat to hand out flyers for the Twin Cities Costumers' Guild.  We went out to the U of M, it was a really good time and reminded me why having a costume guild is so important: I love dressing up!  I think we reached a few interested folks, too.

I finished the pinstriped vest for my honeybunny, it fit him really well and he really liked it.  My welt pockets were slightly wonky, of course: they always are.  But I'm much happier with the fit of this one than his other vests.  I might be able to get him to stand still for pictures sometime today.

A couple days ago I also finally sewed the buttons onto the red silk sleeves that go with my orange linen ren fest dress.  I can't believe I let it go so long!  Today I want to take care of some other loose ends, too, like sewing the binding onto my red silk corset (the one that I meant to enter in the state fair).  I also want to make another little fabric basket today to store jar lids in in the kitchen.  Exciting, no?

I've been really enjoying making my mitten, but I've been trying not to work on it so much this week, as I have more pressing projects.  And I still want to finish my embroidered squares and bars pillow; i'm trying to make that my sitting-down-in-the-evening project, instead of the mitten.

Tomorrow I still hope to find some time to work on fall/winter skirts.
