Day 11 (3 days from Steam Century Mysteries)

Ouch...okay sewing gremlins I get it! I officially give up on trying to finish my new Steampunk jacket after I drove a quilting pin almost 3/4 of an inch under the nail of my left middle finger. It's gross and I'm bleeding and it HURTS. So I just have to concede and wear one of my backup outfits. I will just have to premier the bustled jacket at Cyphan in June.


I have two backup outfits, one the bustle dress I wear for Bartisu Demonstrations with Gallowglass Academy and the other is a co-pilot costume that is more mid-1930's. Since my husband will also be doing a 1930's style costume I think we should match. I will be sure to post pictures of us on Saturday.


But for now I think I will put the sewing to the side. I leave to visit my little sister in California and I should pack and get ready for that too. This blog will go quiet for a few weeks until I get back and then it will be a race to next dresses finished up for the Naper Settlement Civil War Events. They include a burn out floral day dress and a couple of new calico work dresses.
