This is one of the note fads going on about the Facebook scene… Since it deals with music, I couldn’t help myself…. here goes……

(one puts their digital music library on shuffle and the songs in order are listed under these headings…)

Check List Revisted

15 Sunday Feb 2009

In an earlier entry, posted around the holidays of 2008, I had given a list of accomplishments to pursue for that long Winter Break that OU so graciously gives. I promised to post with my progress, and have yet to do so until now. Here goes…

1) make 2 chemises…. CHECK!
2) make 2 Pairs of drawers… FAILED (not even attempted)
3) Rig previously bought Skirt from ebay….CHECK! it looks rather nice now.
4) Learn to crochet…. CHECK! I have found a very enjoyable past time and I am now
attempting to make an “Imperial Symbol Scarf”… this is a Star Wars thing. and I’m uber excited to finish it!
5) make 2 under-petticoats….. semi-CHECK! the chemises I made are long enough to serve as under-petticoats…. go me!
the picture is what my living room looked like with a rather odd looking rig. It’s a lampshade, with a hoopskirt and petticoat on top of it… this made it easier to add and pin the ruffles.
his is the original skirt I bought from ebay… it’s very basic and boring and wasn’t long enough for my hoop. My solution to this problem: Add a ruffle to the bottom. this gave it the proper length for my hoop and made it look a little more accurate to days of the Civil War.

This is the *almost* finished skirt. ^^^^^^It has a draw string waist which I intend to remedy a wee bit. This skirt is to be used for presentations to 8th Graders at my old Middle School. I come in during the Spring and give a presentation on Women’s Life during the time of the Civil War. This skirt is going to be used for girls to try on so they can experience things a little better 🙂 I am going to keep the drawstring waist but I intend to disguise it by some strategic pleating and seams that will also make it usable for any reenactments my mother and I should go to. (The sash in the photo is not a real sash, but a piece of scrap black fabric. I just needed something to “complete the picture”.lol.)

Some time later I will add a more complete “Civil War Reenacting on a Tight Budget”. This will show the hoop, bustle pad and chemise(s) That I made work. TOODLES!
