A little update

[atherleisure]

My impromptu 1780's project is finished, and I've finally started on my 1610's project. I'm starting with the petticoat because I can use an 18th century shift if I run out of time for the smock. The interlining for the body is finished so I should be able to cut the wool out tonight. The Tudor Tailor says that by 1600 skirt panels are rectangular so that should be easy.

My ship pinball progresses. I haven't quite made it to the ship, but I'm in the center patterned section. The ship goes with the Alexander Kent Bolitho novel I was reading, which amused me. Now I want to reread the whole Hornblower series. But first I shall read Crinolines and Crimping Irons and then see how the mood strikes me.

Thank you. That is such a good compliment. I'll get pictures of the petticoat after it's finished. I'm not sure when I'll get pictures of the 18th century stuff...plain ivory is kind of boring, and I don't have the striped fabric to finish the project. I need green and white stripes for the gown.
