Surprisingly, I finished half the beading on the skirt of my 1897 evening dress today. I might still finish the sleeves tonight. One is done; the other is started.
Almost a Bodice
May. 24th, 2025 08:50 amI nearly finished the bodice of my 1897 evening dress last weekend. I just have to make up and set the sleeves in it. I washed the lace for the sleeves during the week so I'd like to get those in this weekend.
I started the beading on the skirt and am about a third of the way through the first side. The beading can be a bit hard on the back because I spread it out on a table and end up rather hunched over it. If I thought I were going to take up beading intensively, I'd definitely have to come up with a better solution. For a couple weeks worth of time on one dress, it's not worth it. I'll just try to alternate days of beading with days of doing other sewing.

Goal for the Weekend
May. 18th, 2025 07:36 amThe goal for the weekend is to finish beading the pieces for the bodice of the 1897 dress. I made good progress on it yesterday after doing nothing on it Friday. Finishing today seems reasonable.
I've started the beading on the 1897 evening dress I'm making.
It's not going quite as fast as I had hoped, but it's not dreadfully slow either.
