atherleisureTuesday the prediction for the DFWCG Georgian Picnic was high of about 49 and 30% chance of rain. I had been planning to make a long-sleeved light-weight wool 1780's for Spirits of the Past at Smithfield Plantation about this time before life went all topsy-turvy. So I conceived of the nutty idea of trying to make the dress in time for the picnic. Of course, I decided it was silly and didn't start. Then I decided to see if I could on Wednesday so I started the dress. At the end of the night last night I had a bodice made up and one sleeve cut out.
Now I've got the sleeves made up and am in the process of pleating the skirt. Can I finish setting the skirt, set the sleeves, and sew down the shoulder pieces tonight? Probably not, but I'm going to have a go. Since they're not predicting rain any more, I've still got the back-up plan of the piemontaise. I'd better iron that...
