This week I actually have progress to report since I actually did some sewing. I worked on my 1868 crinoline, though it was mostly non-progress. I've got the pattern in hand (ordered on Tuesday and received on Thursday - I was impressed) and boning on order. I've traced off the pattern pieces so I'm ready to cut it out, maybe I'll be able to do that Monday night. Plus I put together the pattern pieces for the petticoat to go over it, cut it out, and have run up and felled all the seams. I'll get the waistband on it sometime this week but will have to wait until the hoop is ready to hem it.
Then I finished the knitting on my first 18th century stocking. I still need to weave in the ends, but it's a stocking. Now I'm two rows into the second one, and it looks very, very small.
Cross-stitching progresses, but there's really nothing to say about it. It's slow, very slow. And something like 58,000 stitches in the project. One does see progress a lot faster when sewing.
This morning I finally managed to put the cuffs on my print sacque. I made them in June but it took me five or six weeks to get around to pulling the old trim off and putting them on. They're better than the trim.
