Mostly about a dress
So, for my birthday I was pining for an old dress - a reproduction from some era or other. Heather discovered that she'd started an 1830s dress years and years ago, and wasn't likely to finish it, so she sent it my way. And I've now been working on it with Sis Hicks. We can only meet up once a week, and so it's somewhat slow going, but I am enjoying it so far!
Nice to see my old dress getting loving attention from you!!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! And that fabric is amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the finished dress! I know how you love the 1830s style. :-) It reminds me of the days when I sewed my own Civil War gowns. Good memories. I'd really like to make a couple Regency gowns. Wouldn't that be fun??
ReplyDeleteOoh, yes! I'm hoping, after this is finished, that I'll have more confidence in sewing things myself.
