Is it the Sensibility tea gown? I lo...Dear Emily,<br /><br />Is it the Sensibility tea gown? I love that one.<br /><br />Emma really wants to get this shirt right. She has a lot of ideas for variations if she can make it work. Frankly, I think she just had too much on her mind with the Rome trip looming.<br /><br />I get such a kick out of Maria's adventures and you trying to keep her from having them!<br /><br />But you're right about Emma enjoying the time while she can. I don't see how she will be able to sew much once she has a Maria of her own. Her only hope is that she likes to stay up late and work. She was up at 1 a.m. sewing a zippered pocket in her slip (for her passport and euros) the morning she left for Rome.Wendy Haughthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03224112973689131637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1102126498629529342.post-38390326043844214862010-06-28T23:29:13.223-05:002010-06-28T23:29:13.223-05:00I know the feeling of hours of work thrown aside. ...I know the feeling of hours of work thrown aside. I have a pretty nonstandard figure by to-day's standards, and sometimes fitting is just hellish. These days, I do not have hours and hours worth of time to fit and refit. I have to either use forgiving patterns, like that Regency drawstring dress I made, or stick with already fitted, tried and true ones I've made before. Though the trouble is, even some of those don't fit right any more. I have a 1910's tea gown pattern I am itching to get into, but fitting is scaring me. I sew in tiny spurts between keeping Maria from destroying the place. I do not have time to try on and pin and so on and so forth. I guess Emma should enjoy being able to do that while she can.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05117120475033380036noreply@blogger.com
