elizabeth_mnI spent most of yesterday cleaning my house (phew!) including pulling all the furniture out of the sewing room, sweeping it out, and then putting everything back all nice and clean and orderly. This really makes me want to do a "Tour of my sewing room" entry now that it looks all clean.
I also put the waistband on the riding habit skirt and make the alterations to the bodice pattern. Now it's ready to cut the 2nd mock-up.
Worked on the sweater a little. I did the math for the change from pullover to cardigan + the extra hip width about 4 times, and now I'm satisfied and I'm going right ahead with it. I've done 2 or 3 decrease cycles, and it kind of feels like I am never going to finish this thing. I mean, I started in, what, June? It's September now! I need to either knit faster or resign myself to not having the sweater done until spring.
Christy's corset fit great, and of course I completely forgot about photos, but oh well, she likes it. I brought my red corset as a demonstration model and gave her a short lesson in lacing herself up (something I wish someone had done for me with my first corset!).
My Halloween dress plans have changed a little, because I couldn't find the right color feathers.
I should probably continue with my pirate/riding habit today, but there are a couple crafty things I want to do that will probably take over.
