atherleisureI wasn't quite sure how I wanted to handle the medieval gown so I started the 1930's dress. As with most modern sewing, it's moving along pretty quickly. There's been a lull in all needlework this week because the band solo contest is on Saturday, and I'm accompanying all of the children. We've been practicing every night. That doesn't mean no needlework has been accomplished, just that it's not very much. The 1930's dress made good progress over the weekend, and I've done a little cross-stitching this week.
I also decided I really wanted to make a bag to go with the 1930's dress. Last year I felt like I really needed more period bags to carry my things in. I remembered that I had bought this pattern: https://www.etsy.com/listing/210070057/1940s-beret-and-bag-vintage-pdf-knitting. It doesn't cut into my sewing time, at least not much, because knitting I can do while riding in the car or eating lunch or attending the band boosters meeting or whatever. I stopped at the yarn store down the street on Monday and bought yarn and started it. It's been a fast knit so far - I've finished all the main parts of the bag and just have the handle left to make. I need to get everything pressed and sewn together, but it's not a rush. I'll probably also be able to make the beret in time for Costume College, though I have another hat that will also do so it's definitely in the completely optional category.
