Fall

I’ve been horrible on keeping up with posts, and, well, so many other things. I did send off an article to Connie for the Gazette. It is a military version of the “Connecting with your Audience” article. So, if you get that magazine, please take a look. I do have this list of articles I want to find time to put together for the Companion and for the blog. One in particular I thought might be of interest for the magazine is about the bag obsession I’ve had of late. Okay, not really about the obsession, about the bags themselves.

It is fall…. ahhhhhh. Normally this time of year I am thinking about quilted and wool petticoats, wristlets and wool stockings, wadded hoods and cozy coats. Not so much this year. Instead I am finishing up the dress for the masquerade ball here in town. It is a 50s basque combination done in the sunset silk I’ve had laying around. After the party you will be able to see photos. I may squeeze in another workshop locally this winter. I now have 25 sewing cases and needlebooks done plus the scissors cases and pincushions. Writing to follow. Other than that most of my sewing is for modern clothes including a coat which will eventually make it up on my updates blog.
