Regency Stays

The new stays......

This time I used plastic cable ties for the boning.
It worked very well!  I just put two in each channel.
No more ordering metal boning from Canada!  These turned out really well and fit me so much better than the old ones.  I had to make them two sizes smaller, but finally I have a perfect fit.  It also makes all my dresses fit better.  I finished the spencer, and will post about it soon!

Fair projects - Part I

I have felt terrible about not blogging as much as I would like.  However, I have been VERY busy.  Lots of work on projects for the fairs coming up this fall.  :)

Scrap projects, like this apron, and also more Regency paraphernalia, a spencer jacket, along with a skirt and some knitting.  I'll try to reveal those when they are complete!

Blueberries!!

Back into Knitting

Like many other activities, I often lose motivation and drop it for weeks, even months at a time. Knitting is definitely one of those things. However, I was recently inspired to pick it up again. Here are some of the results. I made another blue bib, but forgot to take a picture of it before I gave it away. (of course!) This petal bib was fairly easy except I had a little trouble with the "short rows" which necessitated quite a bit of unraveling...

Tonight's occupation will be collecting small, round, blue objects... can you guess?
