mmcnealyI am caffinated, alert... and entirely un-focused. These are the things I want to get done today.
- Work on ribbon ties for E's corset
- Work sample eyelets for guide and do write up
- FINISH the lining article that I started last week or the week before. I just have two more little write ups to do, a little editing and then it can be posted for public consumption.
However, my inclination is to just forget about projects and go back to reading "Dressing Renaissance Florence" Which is a really fasinating book talking about the guild system and where tailor's fit into the regulated guild and social structure in Florence in the 13-1400's. It also deals with the social status of women, who weren't regulated by the guilds. Someplace in the later chapters, that I haven't gotten to yet, it goes into fabric yardages used in the garments of the period. Its a good read, but it isn't getting anything accomplished in the sewing department.
