Work was PANTS :( I had nothing to do all day, so just wandered aimlessly till lunch, then wandered some more till home time, read my book, finished my book! So had to print something off to read in the bus on the way home! I got some of the articles on dressmaking and re-enacting from the Elizabeth Stewart Clark website, so now I'm in 1860s mood and have found a whole bunch of lovely cotton prints I want to get!
When I got home I started supper, loaded the dishwasher and finished the washing up, had time to window (website?) shop for fabrics then Gemma came for supper and to watch the third episode of Glee!! When that finished it was nearly bed time, so no time to sew. This is very very bad.
I'm at work tomorrow, I'll TRY to sew when I get home, but not so sure how well that's going to plan out. I have Wednesday off, so hopefully I'll get lots done, but Thursday I'm at work again, till late because we're taking yr8 to see The Tempest, although I'm hoping I'll be able to just go in later in time to go to the theatre so I don't have to be in for sooooo long :( Then I might get some sewing done during the day.
The weekend will be taken up with going to my cousin's birthday party, and Friday I have to spend baking for it, so all together this week is probably going to be pretty pants as far as sewing chances go. Also, my boning isn't here. Still. *grump* I know I have plenty to get on with, but the way I'm feeling right now I don't want to work on anything :'(

The 1860s prints, did you find them online, and can you share? I'd love to see what they look like. For educational purposes, not buying.

The last I thought could be lovely for a '50s flounced summer dress, printed A Disposition. Very frilly :)

The black leaves and the paisly tan are wonderful. The printed cotton swiss is fabulous. Better hurry on that. I see they only have 7 yds left.
