Last year, I think it was back in oh Septemeber or so? I thought up doing an early period/11th c ish dress. Last week, I thought it would be a fun project to bring to work...which means sewing an early period gown without the help of a sewing machine. The underdress is red linen, and I finished it all up today.
Since I didn't have a sewing machine, I didn't have any other projects to distract me from hand sewing up the side of the gown that I had yet to finish, sew in the sleeve, and then hem the entire thing...oh, did I mention that with the massive T-storms the sat kept going out so I couldn't have even the TV to distract me much?
(BTW, if anyone wants to hear about a very intresting adventure involving my car and some massive flash floods down little river and arlington rd at 10 pm, feel free to ask!)
