Fichu Finished

I finished up the fichu for my c. 1790 cutaway dress this week. The wiggly, wiggly gauze and satin ribbon have been stitched into submission.

That finished off my list of things I really wanted to finish by the end of July. There were still a couple of things for 1918 that I wanted to do but wasn't committed to and didn't think I'd have time for, but last week I couldn't get excited about figuring out the 1918 dress so I worked on a couple of modern things instead. Now I've got the gray wool vest and a green wool half-circle skirt finished and maybe I'm ready to tackle something historic where you have to make it up as you go along and try to figure out what the original seamstresses did. If it gets finished in the next month, okay, if it doesn't, that's okay too. I really just want it finished by armistice day.
