The stomacher embroidery is done ! Just what I was aiming at, tonight. Now I just have to finish the cuffs, assemble the stomacher, and recover the shoeS. Ideally this would all get done by tomorrow night, so that I'd only have the hem left - which I'll do with [livejournal.com profile] heileen's help. Than Wednesday is cleaning day, and on Thursday I get to see the ophtalmologist in the morning, have my parents over for lunch and said lovely fellow costumer arrives in the afternoon.
That'd be, as I said, ideal. Somehow I'm not sure I can manage the shoes by then, especially as I still don't have the glue for it. But at the same time, my fett tend to be in a sad swollen state so I'm not sure I'd fit into the shoes if I did finish them. Worse comes worse, I'll wear my brown ones, add a bow to them and just pretend they look okay. I *think* I'll still fit into those ones. Keeps your fingers crossed with me !
And it has nothing to do with sewing, but we just cooked one of the yummiest fish dishes I've ever eaten. And eaten it while watching the end of the second season of the Sarah Connor Chronicles, which is seriously awesome. Now please pray with me that there IS a third season, because I want to know what happens next !

I forgot to mention in my previous post I have a new sewing buddy, in the person of Buzz (whom I know I mentionned in this LJ like a year ago). Poor boy offered his help to organize our next LARP, and since I know he can sew, and I've got plenty of costumes to sew 'til september, he got to help yesterday evening.
Thus I noticed, not only are his semas much neater and straighter than mine with the machine, his work at scaling patterns is also much neater than mine. At least he didn't know til yesterday what a french seam is, so I'm not overly jealous ^^
He got some work done on Murder Costume #1, and scaled the pattern for a chemise for another costume, I'm not sure which one, since the persona for Murder Costume #2 could wear a combination rather than a chemise and drawers, andit would be fun to have a combination...

I've just been trying on my outfit, it's actually pretty cool here, and I'm hot. I'm going to melt on Sunday ! Let me not forget my fan !!!

BTW, [livejournal.com profile] heileen and [livejournal.com profile] de_ravenne, if either of you is in need of one, I have a rather large collection of them, they're not very period correct for the 18th century, but still better than nothing, so if you want me to bring one for you, let me know.
I'll be arriving at the Gare de Lyon at 10 and some minutes, and leaving from the same station at 20. And I have to go across the street today to get my tickets and a new 12-25 train card (probably my last one, btw... weird, huh ?)
