Distractions

[atherleisure]

Starting a new period from the skin out is wearying. I've got through the combinations, a corset, one petticoat, and all of a second petticoat save some ruffles at the hem. Now my attention is starting to wander. Maybe you could say it already wandered because I made the ribbon corset recently. Regardless, the motivation for the petticoat ruffles is lacking. Then it's fitting for the bodice of the dress, which is one of my less favorite parts of sewing.

It doesn't help that I need a new knitting project since I finished the 1910's corset lace. That always causes distraction. And now that I've got the ribbon corset, I kind of want to make the skirt that will finish off the c. 1907 sports outfit before it gets too hot to want to put on the sweater. And I'm getting interested in making a new Regency reticule with tambour embroidery on it.

I've got two months of sewing time before I need the 1910's stuff. Maybe I can have a short break and then be more energetic about the dress. Or maybe I'll lose interest more...
