Jan. 7th, 2018 10:06 amAfter posting a couple days ago that I'm switching gears to the 1830s dress, I went to go start it yesterday, and realized I had coat pieces all over my sewing table. And then my brain said, if you don't put these coat pieces together, then you'll lose them (probably true).
So instead of working on the 1830s dress, I put together my coat. I assembled all the outer body pieces and all the lining body pieces. I didn't do sleeves or the hood or anything like that, so those will wait, but I did cut out the outer pockets, since I had to put those in before I completed the outer body. And I added two inner pockets onto the lining, where I can keep my passport or other things that need to be more secure.
Now that those pieces have all been assembled (which took most of yesterday), I can try on the mock-up for the 1830s dress, which right now is just my 1860s pattern. I also want to see how long I want this skirt, since I want it a couple inches longer than my archery dress shirt skirt, which is also a separate skirt, be and this will be attached to the bodice. I think I might go a little later 30s, at least for now, and pleat down the top of the sleeve. Hopefully, that can be undone later if I change my mind.
So anyway, I'm going to go see Shape of Water first today, then sew for the rest of the day. I saw Three Billboards yesterday, and it was soooo good.
