It's Superbowl Sunday here in America Land. I don't follow football, so I'll be burying myself in the sewing loft and trying to accomplish something on the 1912 Titanic gown.
Yesterday was a Steampunk photoshoot I'm looking forward to sharing with you, but I haven't developed any of the photos yet, so I can't post them today! Instead...here's a look at my favorite striped things from the 1770s (and some from year 1780).
Can't argue with stripes!

I've got my yellow and blue stripe fabric cut into 19 inch widths, ready to go, but I *need* to finish many other things I've started, rather than jumping in to the polonaise that keeps invading my mind. Talk about Costume ADD!
Soon, though. Soon :-)
Costume ADD is so hard to avoid!
ReplyDeleteSO true!
DeleteI have major costume ADD! (especially when it comes to the choice in between finishing that last hem or getting started on that dress I'd been fantasizing about when I was supposed to be working on the other dress!)
ReplyDeleteI have the attention span of a gnat for things like this. I really have to finish something, ANYTHING!
ReplyDeleteI'd have a MUCH better attention span if I just took a month long break from Blogger. I see everyone else's projects and dash back and forth thinking "ooh, a reticule. ooh, a sheer whitework apron (your fault, Lauren). ooh cloaks." Darn all you people and your neverceasing creativity :(
