These and thats

The silly kitty's skirt has been hemmed, yay ! As soon as I've gotten the rest of tonight's occupations out of the way, I'll jump right to draping the overskirt and bodice or polonaise. I'm not yet sure on which option I'll choose. I think I'll use some contrasting piping, though, just because I'm completely masochistic. Oh, and I've found some tiny snaps to close the whole thing (because there's a limit to my masochisticness, and sewing yet another series of miniature buttonholes is definitely beyond that). Yay for at least ONE shop in town being open *with employees* actually inside, so that you can, you know, actually BUY something from them. I'm not sure there *was* anyone working at Toto on my lunchbreak, there was definitely no one to help customers or just for them to pay in the whole fabric and sewing notions area... weird.

The above mentionned "rest of tonight's occupations" consists in copying a prettypretty promenade dress pattern - or rather the jacket's pattern from the suit, because the skirt is merely a diagramm, so that I can mail it to a very nice austrian lady to thank her for lending me the pattern for my wedding dress. A pattern I'm slowly getting excited to make, wheeeheee !

Crossing fingers....

I hope the copyshop can reduce the pattern to a scannable and yet readable size for me tomorrow. So that I can add this to my website.
