(no subject)

I got a tiny bit done on the 1830s dress yesterday between work and rehearsal. I cut out the other sleeve lining, and then started on making the piping. I cut about 7 yards worth of bias strips, and got maybe .5 yds actually sewn before I ran out of time. Usually I use a cotton yarn for making piping, but it always looks so tiny that it almost seems pointless. So this time I'm using a thicker acrylic yarn. Hopefully it works out okay! I would love to at least be able to finish making the piping today, but I work later today than I did yesterday, and still have rehearsal, so even that might be too much to accomplish today. 

For lack of better sewing content, here's a picture of my giant sleeve.
