Spring break, and a little sewing

elizabeth_mnThe Girl has been on spring break so I haven't been doing much sewing. We have had a busy schedule of goofing off to attend to.
I've done some mockups and pattern work for the HB's new Victorian stuff. Yawn.
On Monday I got distracted and made another Colette Moneta from some deep orange jersey I had in recent stash. I love one-day dresses!
I helped The Girl make her very first all-by-herself-on-the-machine project, a simple elastic waist skirt. She did great and she's so proud!
We had our monthly sewing bee last night at the LeDuc house and I worked on a new knitted lace edging.
I am thinking of making enough for a V neckline and wide cuffs for an early 1870s dress. I know I might be bending the rules a little by using knitted lace on an outer garment, but making lace is just too much work to waste it on underwear. And I like knitting lace, so I want to make it and use it where it can be seen.
