A slight change of focus.

I don't have pictures of my brown print regency dress... mostly because I'm avoiding setting in the sleeves.  The bodice is done, and one sleeve is pinned in, and now I'm perfecting the art of ignoring less-than-pleasant sewing tasks.

This is what I did instead.


And this:


The second sketch is me trying to work out steampunk wings for a painting I'm planning.  I know, I know.  Reenactment this weekend, I need a new dress, I should be sewing, yadda yadda.  But it's been OVER A YEAR since I picked up a brush, and right now all I can think about is painting and I have so many ideas simmering in my head at the moment.

Besides, this summer was nothing but hardcore sewing.  I'll get the dress done, but I need this change of pace for my creative sanity.

And speaking of sewing, I have a phone interview set up for the tailor position at Williamsburg!  Wish me luck!

I knew you could do it - just emphasize your track record of being able to compleate high quality projects on a time line, and making any repairs in a time frame as well. Much of what you did at the Shakespere Festival would apply to this job - just like being able to do a vairety of tasks and flexibility and willingness to do what ever is needed (handling dirty laundry and all)
