I am SUPER excited...I have sewing time coming up! A little mini vacation to include some time spent on my new sewing room AND on sewing!

LIFE has gotten so in the way lately, that I'm happy to have time to do more than just a little bit of handwork. I'm planning on working on a new early 19th century ball gown for an upcoming Jane Austen Ball next month, and I have new fabric on its way for the purpose!

I'm in the preliminary planning and research phase for this new gown, but I'm planning an underdress of silk taffeta and a net overdress: I've been planning one of those forever and finally found the right fabric this week: wish me luck!
