another day off.....

I am not going to talk about work!
So what I am going to talk about is my sleeves for the underdress. :) Yea! they are patterened, cut out of the fabric and one of them is completely sewn save lacing holes. The other was nearly done when I realized I was making two right (or two left) sleeves. Doh! So now it is ready to be sewn together again. I'm hoping to finish this tonight and possibly cut out the overdress. :) I've scrapped the orriginal trim concept for a variaty of reasons, mostly because although it is neat, I don't find it flattering. I think I am going to do some tri on the outer dress, something very narrow and understated.

My to do list now,
1. hem chemise
2. hem under dress
3. add lacing rings for the sleeve
4. finish sleeves and add lacing points
5. mock up and pattern overdress bodice and sleeve cap
6. cut and sew dress

maybe I can finish this by the end of April.
