chocolatepotSpent some time yesterday and today drawing a pattern for the basic cap from Garsault (it's one I made and had briefly in my shop like ten years ago) and writing the instructions, mainly as a way to learn to use Affinity Designer. It actually went really well, although I wish the saving of the print-at-home pages were simpler - it requires drawing a box for each sheet, basically. I just have to put it all together and I can get it up on Etsy. I added a paragraph on how to turn it into a lappet cap as well, which is a bit ... theoretical, but I think it would work.
I need to make a pattern diagram for the Peacock Bodice skirt and overskirt, and I really need to contact every non-Fenimore source for my Regency patterns to get permission to make them into Mimic of Modes patterns. I'd started with the spencer ages ago and they never got back to me after their initial response and I kind of went, "Phew, now I don't have to communicate with someone." Bad! I'm also afraid to talk to the Albany Institute because I kind of told them I would provide full-size paper patterns of the Pink Pingat before I realized how much of a pain in the ass it would be to actually do that. But the really cool gold gown with the amazing sleeves NEEDS to be done.

Weekends are back to being enjoyable now that I don't need to rush around on Sunday to get everything done, particularly to get the week's lunches and preferably dinners made. Yesterday was below zero but I still walked downtown for lunch because it! is! my! special! thing!; today I just did the walk to get out and stretch my legs. I'm not anticipating having to do much shoveling in the days to come as it's mostly supposed to be sleet here.
