still sewing

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! LOL Since my last entry I have finished the construction of the bodice and it actually fits. I have all the hand work to finish up by this weekend. I've already handstitched all of the binding on the bodice and have half of the eyelets done. So I need to finish the eyelets, sew the skirt to the bodice, hem the skirt, and finish sewing the pearls to the sleeves. If I have time (or later if not this week) I want to add a paned cap sleeve and a black guard at the hem to protect the light colored fabric from the dirty faire grounds.
