Oh alright, not really insanity, but some really crazy amounts of sewing. I have just spent the last couple of weeks sewing three dresses, two spencers, four shifts/chemises, one stay, two bonnets, and one pair of pants. I also cut out three more dresses, one of which a friend of mine took home to sew. We have our annual dinner for our reenactors group, and every time I turned around, my hubby was inviting more people. AAAAAAAH!
We are dressing up to go get our Christmas Tree, and take some family pictures, so I will get some pics posted soon. (Probably tomorrow) I will also be doing some pattern reviews.
On the plus side, we learned during this process that our town will be 200 years old in 2010. My friend and I got talking, and she knows the lady in charge of the bicentennial activities. We are going to talk to her about the possibility of having a regency ball. We want to start a Regency Society here, so that would give us a goal to work towards. (We both sew for our local Shakespeare festival, so a little extra time to prepare for our first event, and help people find patterns would be a good thing.) This dinner will be her first event. She is already hooked, now we just have to hook her hubby. I don't think it will be too hard, he is starting to get excited, now that she made him some pants, and we have other clothes to loan him.
