Petticoat
I made a quick and easy petticoat! Last summer, I found a great lace-edged bedskirt at a garage sale, and picked it up knowing it would make a great petticoat. Now it has. It's just two 46" panels stitched up the side and gathered onto a waistband. Nice quick project.
My boots are also shown above, but I think there's significantly more sand color on one boot, so I'm probably going to dab a little more on the other boot tomorrow.
I also sewed all the buttons onto the braiding on the bodice. And I pinned up the hem on my skirt, and started stitching that. I'm hoping to finish all the other hand-sewing stuff tomorrow night, including the bodice closures. That way on Saturday, I might have time to make a hat. My feathers say that they're in WA, so I'm hoping they might even come tomorrow!
