So much has happened this weekend!
Jun. 13th, 2016 08:10 pm- I got a lot done on the corset. Added the busk, then the bust gores, the boning channels in front and back, and the hip panels. Then took out a bit of the hip panels and added a gore to them because they didn't flare enough. The bust seems *sigh* slightly too big, I don't know how this always happens. I now need to order a bunch of new boning because everything I have is too long.
- Finished tweaking formatting stuff with my paper and submitted it. Now I'm terribly nervous that it's just bad. It's kind of a list of primary source information ... but in some contexts that's a good thing.
- I recently ordered a new summer fitted sheet - it's sooooo nice, cotton sateen, and it actually fits the mattress so I don't have to pull it down at the corners every morning. The old one and the microfiber one I was using for winter are both horribly pilled and worn, so I cut off the elastic and seams and ripped them both into 2" strips, which I'm now braiding in preparation for turning into a rag rug for the bathroom (and probably another for the kitchen, this braid is getting very long). It's very satisfying - I hate waste.
- My stepmother got Hamilton tickets for us all in that AmEx block that opened up for next spring. I know. I'm kind of stunned but excited but also feeling a little guilty because so many people would love this opportunity while I'm actually more interested in Shuffle Along. :/
