incremental

today is all about wire bending and enameling, so not a lot of online time...

Last night saw some progress on the overall pinafore, the hemline trim had all the edges half-bound, and then was stitched in place just an inch above where the hem edgebinding will be. The last remaining steps will be that hemline, and the buttonholes and tack buttons. For some reason overall-style garments always take longer than any other, but by the end of this coming week it should be possible to move on to the next thing.

I am beginning to wonder if I will be able to complete SWAP by the deadline of the end of April, it will require completing at least one entire garment a week. If I substitute a more simple (knit?) top for the brown/blue Liberty shirt, and use TNT pinafore patterns, it could be possible. Our plucky heroine has a tendency to elaborate every garment, perhaps more than needs must. Maybe some simple basics (for now) will be both doable and useful foils for the more decorative elements.

highlighted clothing is completed, black denim pinafore is half done...
