A time away from sewing is always great for me. But I can feel a new pair of stays coming on in the next day or so. Just a few details to sort out in my mind first.
It's amazing how that works. I usually can't take more than a week off from sewing without itching to start again. Right now I'm having a severe case of CADD :-/ I'm forcing myself to finish my stays before I make a day dress and a ball gown :-)
Just a girl with a sewing machine and a penchant for the 18th century. Not content to make costumes for one-off special events and for swanning around at home in, I re-cut the 18th century for my modern day wardrobe.
I take the silhouette of the era and translate that into clothes I can and will wear anywhere, anytime.
Yes I wear stays! Yes I wear petticoats! Yes I wear frills and flounces and fabrics which really belong on armchairs. That's half the fun.
