sakon76Sent off my payment for limited classes at Costume College today. I'll be in Leather Tooling Friday afternoon, and learning Hardanger Embroidery Saturday afternoon! ^_^
Then I figured out my size for the La Mode Bagatelle Regency Wardrobe pattern (depressingly: 22, aka the largest size), pulled all dozen pattern sheets apart in search of the pieces I need for the bodiced petticoat, ironed them, traced the pieces onto tissue paper, and cut out a muslin. Out of actual muslin, because, hey, why not? Sewed the muslin mockup together.
Started looking for the plastic boning I use for mockups.
Started mentally swearing when I could not find it, and taking apart the wall-o-fabric-and-sewing-stuff.
Somewhere in the process, started my annual Costume College Bargain Bazaar Donation cull.
Have made a visible dent in the stash. Am being somewhat more rigorous than in years previous. "Am I ever actually going to sew this?" combined with "Do I really really love this?" with a bit of "This is leftover from an old project; do I still need it?"
Have found my reed and steel boning.
The plastic boning remains elusive.
