What's your dressmakers dummy wearing?

There's no room in my sewing room for such a thing.... but projects in process include:

* "goth-y" gypsy skirt for a client

I ran out of black cotton for this and need to go shopping this weekend. Fortunately Joann's is having a 50% coupon sale, so I will just buy a whole bolt.

* early 16th century Italian market woman dress for me

I got it cut and assembled, and am sewing on 1" wide silk trim strips as my arthritis permits the hand sewing. I might actually finish before the end of renfest.


* early 18th century men's 'pirate' coat for my husband

The wool is cut, but the linen lining is not ready. I still need to pick small applique flowers off several more yards before it is ready to use. It cost me $2 a yard, because of that small inconvenience.
