No sewing today :(

But then I didn't expect to get any sewing done, we had a lovely tea party though, and dancing was great fun as always!
Tomorrow I need to go into town to get a Birthday present for a friend from dancing (sweet 16, so something pretty is definitely needed!) and in the evening I'm supposed to bee going out with my old school friends again, and I think we're having a sleep over too (so grown up!) So I really really need to extract the digit and get my mockup done so I can cut out so I can SEW! Ah, I just thought, I can take the jacket with me to sew on the train!!! Ah-ha, 3 or 4 hours extra sewing time if I need it!!
I'm so cross that I didn't fit a centre front fastening bodice when I did my mockups in December, I did one for the saque back, and one for the fitted and en-foureau backs, but they all had stomacher fronts :( But I guess I can mockup the Gaule as well tomorrow, so I can get straight onto it as soon as the jacket is done. So many dresses to make, so little time!!! ( I've been toying with the idea of looking for a creamy cotton voile for a chemise dress too ... but don't tell anyone!)
I've also decided what I want to do for my Birthday - dress in 18th Century and go to Derbyshire, either to the Carriage museum to have a picnic and a ride in a carriage, or to Chatsworth or Keddleston to have a picnic and take photos in the grounds. If there aren't any events we can go to, we'll just have to make up our own!!

That sounds like an awesome birthday plan!
