mlsdesignsI've had to put my UTR wardrobe on hold to make bathing dresses for Mummy and Clare :( I don't mind, and I'm super excited to go sea bathing in the correct attire (might actually be warm enough to bathe in the sea in England dressed in all that wool!!) but I was in the middle of my chemise dress :'(
Any way, Mummy's is done except for buttons, and Clare's just needs a collar and buttons and a skirt. I think I'm going to go ahead and make me one too. Having done lots of research I've found out that a 'combination' garment with a separate skirt was the best for sea bathing (as opposed to swimming) the combination is more comfy than a tunic and drawers apparently, and my old suit has drawstring drawers as well, not good when wet! So as long as Clare's doesn't take too long I'll make me one too. I should manage, what took so long was drafting the pattern, but I've done that now, so it will hopefully be plain sailing!
The trip to the seaside will be in the next few days, so I need to get them done ASAP, then when they are finished I'm going to finish my chemise dress and make the sash and hat, then I have to drop UTR sewing again to get things ready for the Regency ball in Scotland after I get back. It is never ending here!!! At least I have this week off school to hopefully get lots done But as soon as I get back it's crazy time at work again AAAAAAARGH!!!!!
