I managed to fit all the pieces of my new stays on the leftover brocade from my 1690's stays!

1740 Stays Layout

My daughters have decided they want to learn to sew. This happened once before. They picked out a pattern and fabric and lost interest maybe halfway through. I finished the things, and they never wore them. This time it's an even easier project - pajama pants. Even if I end up finishing them, I'm pretty sure they'll wear them. They ought to be done by the end of the weekend.

Other than that, I finished my c. 1790 gown (no pictures yet) and am really close to finishing my 1919 slipover. I just need to do the belt and buttons, but the belt is not cooperating. I'm trying one last thing before I give up on the crochet attempts and just knit it. (Have I mentioned I don't crochet?) I finished the pinball I knit over the summer but am waiting to share pictures. I technically started a new cross-stitch piece, but since I've only done one thread on it, it will be a long time before it's done. My 17th century garter is progressing slowly now that it's not my primary project, but it is definitely more than half-finished.

In summary, the UFO pile is in good shape - one vest-thing, one pair garters, one pair stays, and one cross-stitched picture.

That jigsaw pattern placement is a thing of beauty.

Yay for being extra stingy with fabric!

Wow! Way to fit it all on the brocade! PJ pants are pretty quick, so hopefully the girls finish them before getting bored. Then again, I got bored with the ones I was making long before I finished them. ;p
