Mister B!

I forgot to tell everyone, Mister B was down in Williamsburg! No, really! Apparently he use to tease the inmates at the mental hospital...into becoming tailors? Hmmm...

For those that don't understand the vast importance of this - in a Victorian etiquette book, one of the rules was to not call your spouse by his or her surname initial such as "Mr. B". It was very hilarious (with a few glasses of jampagne) to hear that our ancestors would go around calling their spouses "Mr. B" rather than, ya know, John or Andrew or whatever their spouse's first name was...which, of course, was also incorrect but eh.

I bought more fabric and some tulle to make a crinoline for beneath the dress as well. Good thing it was on sale!

I also went to Burlington Coat Factory and they had a bunch of mis match sheets and tablecloths on sale. I found a California king sheet in the pile that has the cutest cherry print on it. It told me it wants to be either a circle skirt or a 1950's dress. I'm not sure yet.

Oh well, back to sewing!

Argh!

Sewing Machine fail. My denim and silk sewing machine has finally broken -after four and a half years. I think. I know it's broken - I think I know what's wrong too- but I can't recall how long I've had the machine. I tried my vintage machine but the thread kept breaking so I took that as a sign that I was not going to be able to wear a patriotic dress this year.

I'll get the sewing machine fixed this week. I'm sure it will be $$$ but I need the thing fixed and it's worked well thus far.

Luckily, Pennsic sewing isn't too terrible. I was planning on hand sewing one dress anyway and maybe one more if I finished everything. I have everything else I need done. It was just some "extra" things I was hoping to get done - all of which i can get done if the sewing machine is fixed quick enough.

In happy news, I finally got through Silent Hill: Shattered Memories (a Wii game that is rather freaky). I'm sort of upset you don't get to shoot the shrink at the end....I seriously wanted to choke him a couple of times...
