From time to time, I make a mistake. Sometimes I make it over and over. Thankfully, at almost 40 years old, I have learned to be patient and go head and start over instead of finagling. Don't get me wrong sometimes finagling brings about some amazing work--human ingenuity and God's inspiration and all. The skirt was one such instance of where I made the same mistake over and over and finally figured out what I had done wrong. So, I lost about 8-10 hours of work but it is all right now. So, now I can finish the skirt today and the handwork for the doublet. I am hoping to get the sleeves calculated and cut today and sewn tomorrow. I may wait on the forepart until my mind (and God) solve the problem I foresee with it. I am working with silk and it can be frustrating when you want to attach trim AND want it to remain flat and unpuckered.
Ok, time for work.
