green_martha... but SOMEONE stole the show...
My parents' cat, who had gone missing for eight days, suddenly reappeared in our living room, a bit hungrier than normal and meowing VERY loudly, purring like mad. Dunno where she's been, but she does seem happy to be back to a place she knows.
As a result, I did not take pictures of the casaque (had some snuggle time with teh kitteh instead). All I have to do on the casaque itself is sew the tucks on the cuffs and hem the thing.
So what remains ? Shoes, cap, and stomacher. Possibly a new chemise as well - I need some new roomy nightgowns anyway. I don't know if I have suitable fabric for a cap. I have some stuff I can make do for a chemise. I'd like to find some fake leather in brown and black to pimp up the shoes - other wise I'll make them matching the casaque but I'd prefer to have a more generic pair. I have all the supplies for the stomacher, so I may start on it now and leave the hem for later (like, for when I have someone to makr the length on me). Or maybe not right now, but right after I've taken care of the house and laundry and taken a nice shower. It's hot again here *pouts*. I hope it doesn't get TOO hot by the 22d...
