Cleaning up the Project Pile
I finished off a crinoline bustle last night.
It's made following instructions from an 1868 issue of Harper's Bazar. I substituted cotton crinoline for horsehair and a tape at the waist for the cord at the waist, but otherwise I think I followed the instructions pretty well. The HEARTH website has all the instructions online, but they can also be found on page 476 of Reconstruction Era Fashions.
I think my project explosion of a few weeks ago has now been largely resolved. I'm down to the 1912 vest, which is on hold until I order more yarn, the pineapple bag, and a Regency shortgown. It's been nice doing a few quick and easy projects because my next project will be a set of c. 1700 stays.
