So, since my last installment, I've been working away on making 9 rows of bias ruched organza quilling trim in 1/12 scale for an 1849 evening dress. Tomorrow I'll make the satin underskirt and start on the 16 ribbon roses. And then there can finally be pictures. (Penny Ladnier, if you're reading this: it's the pink tarletaine on the "left lady" from the January 1849 Year in Fashion plate.)
But I've clearly gotten a bit punchy from the whole doll-scale project. Because when I saw this: http://www.fabric.com/midweek-madness-sale-home-decor-fabric-p-kaufmann-adrian-coral.aspx , a screen-printed upholstery canvas with approximately a 9" square repeat, for a moment I really wanted to buy enough of it to make myself a dress that would be the equivalent on me. I might not be able to resist. Definitely stitching past bedtime, here. Lauren Lauren M.
