General Progress
Feb. 22nd, 2015 07:35 amI don't have any great milestones, but I thought I'd give a general progress report.
1890's petticoat: I've put four tucks in so it's a better length now. It could still stand to go a touch shorter so I'm going to put in another tuck or two.
1950's sun dress: The bulk of it is together, but I still need to do the bodice facing, bind the neck and armscyes, do the buttons and bound buttonholes, sew up the front skirt seam, put in the last layer of the skirt, and hem it. It's a fair bit left, but it's coming along nicely.
1930's knit bolero: I'm about halfway through knitting my first sleeve. The bulk of the body is knitted, but I still have to knit the ribbed trim at the center fronts, which I'm avoiding because I hate picking up stitches along a finished edge.
18th century pinball: I finally pulled it back out and have knit four rows on it. I still find 6-0 needles a little difficult to work with, but it's better than it was a year and a half ago when I started it.
Once I finish off the petticoat and do the buttonholes on the 1950's dress, I intend to do a couple of small Regency things before finishing the sundress.
