I see the end. It’s over there. I’m supposed to wear the dress for the first time in 5 days. I think I’ll have it all done in time (I’m hopeful that I won’t be madly finishing hand stitches on Saturday morning).
Still left to do:
Required:
– Finish Hemd(Plan to finish this tonight)
- Line the collar
- Add ties
- Add sleeves and gussets
- Wash (to remove the blue marks)
– Finish Wulsthaube(Plan to work on this today on commute and finish on Wednesday)
- Attach Wulst to new cap
- Add looped strap
Nice to have:
– Add guards to dress. They’re machine sewn on the top and hand appliqued on the bottom. I can -wear- the dress as long as they’re attached.. but I’d really like to finish them at some point. (Plan to hand-sew these tomorrow night)
– Bind the sleeve seams.(stretch goal for tonight or tomorrow)
– Bind the 3 seams inside the dress.(stretch goal for tonight or tomorrow)
Stretch goals that I won’t get done by this deadline (but still want to track for future projects):
– Gollar
– New flat hat
– Apron (I may prep the fabric for this and work on it on-site this weekend)
