chocolatepotWow, credit card charges really creep up on you, don't they? How about that. How. About. That. Particularly when you put about two-thirds of all your money into paying off your student debt, right on payday. :|
Tomorrow I'm going to have my waffles in the morning, empty my garbage pail and wash it and set it outside because it's vile even when empty and I'm hoping the sun will help, and then go to the museum and do some ~*~patterning~*~!
I can't say at all when we'll have it available even for testing, but Julie wants to make an 1890s evening dress. And while preparing and testing the Pingat will be more of a priority, we can at least get a jump on an 1890s evening dress pattern for the future. We have two at SLCHA, both of which I'll pattern tomorrow, I think: one is dated to 1892, the wedding dress of someone local, with smaller puffs and a little CF panel someone added later (fortunately, that's the whole of their alterations; the rest of the bodice is exactly as it was made), and the other I also suspect to be a wedding dress as it's the same shade of off-white, but it's found in collections. The second is from a bit later in the decade, the more stereotypical mid-1890s big balloon-sleeved dress.
