Why does Costume College sneak up on you so quickly!! I spent all of yesterday and today fighting with the bodice of my blue and yellow plaid bustle dress, I think I've finally wrangled it into submission, so now all it needs is the trim at neck and cuffs stitching down, and buttons and button holes. I also still have to finish fixing the petticoat of my cross-bared sack; have 2 bonnets and a hat to trim; and some hair pieces to make. That list doesn't sound too scary, but when you add packing it makes me want to cry! It's so hard and takes so long and I'm always convinced I'll forget something :(
