life and sewing

[tielan]

Sore throat. Had an 'ocular migraine' this morning - a section of my vision went 'jagged overlay' for about 30 minutes and then I got a headache. I ended up taking a half-day, and sleeping through lunch. Felt a bit better - the headache mostly went away - but the throat is still painfully sore.

Got tickets for the Bridgerton Ep 1 showing in Bowral on Monday. Am meeting some people through the time I'm there - hopefully to

Finished my regency-era shift, and I think it works better with the regency-era stays I made. I learned one important thing, though: if you're going to flat-fell seams, do it each time you sew a seam or a set of seams, because by the end of the garment it will be too late.

None of my fabrics quite suit a regency gown - the one fabric that does, I don't have enough of it. I suppose I could always use the China silk brocade I've been holding onto for the last...oh, 12 years. It wouldn't be very "traditional regency" but honestly? Screw that. This is BRIDGERTON.

Now I just have to make a toile, because apparently the pattern I have is not very good on sizing and it's best if you make a toile beforehand.

I just got to find something that has enough fabric for a toile...

Sheets from a thrift store would probably be a cheap way to get enough fabric.
