Oy, buttonholes !
Dec. 12th, 2011 09:50 pmFunny how I just need to start writing a post that says "I can't find the right buttons" without finding them indeed. So that means I need to sew 18 buttonholes for the justaucorps, plus six decorative buttons, and that will leave me with six more spare buttons - possibly to be used on a matching waistcoat. That's a lot of buttonholes... I'll probably make them with ThePrincess, saving myself some handewign throught way too many thick layers, but still... Oy.
The hem is marked. I thought for a minute about hemming the thing tonight, looked a tmy watch, and decided it was a Bad Idea (tm) to do anything else than marking things at this time.
Now that I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, I'm started to get all excited about my next project(s) !
I need to redo my wool surcot, th bottom needs to be wider for me to be able to actully walk and sit in it - as is, it's more a decoative costume than a functionnal everyday item of clothing. It should be the later.
I've had plans for months now to make myself some 14th century stuff (as in : fitted, supportive top, wide gored skirt). Not sure I'm excited enogh about it to actually make them. Plus, the red itchy patch above my left eye tells me I should stay away from wool for a while, and I'm pretty sure I don't have enough polar fleece (I need something *warm*).
So this leaves the option I'm the most excited about : 1890s !!!!!!!!! <= Yeah, THAT excited ! I'm not sure what I'll make exactly for the planned outing in the Spring. I still need to check I can do with my current victorian corset (or have to make a new one), but I should have most fabrics in stock (for the outer layer). Brown velveteen, tartan taffetas, some orange wool and/or silk. Yay ! Of course I want to go all over the top with this, but the more rationnal part of me tells me I might not have the time. We'll see, it depends a lot on whether or not I need a new corset... See ? all that babbling to say I just don't know yet hat I'll make Excited I tell you !
