Both Amanda and Katie have finished their slat bonnets, and both are having computer trouble. Hence us all still waiting to see their loverly creations. I'm still cording...I have ten more rows to go, and can't wait to be finished with it! We're all also working on our work skirts currently, and planning our work petticoats and deciding sleeve styles for our bodices. We're all on facebook and I wanted to share a funny ramble that we had going this week. Please ignore the bad grammar!
Katie Hoffmann ~ Got my bonnet cut :) I'm making progress!! Pinning it to the bed works great! **Hoping i don't cut my quilt** :
Katie Hoffmann

Amanda Schwartz

Jennifer Lee Wildermuth
Are you sewing by hand or machine?
Katie Hoffmann
i'm cheatin... hidden stitches r machined... i tried by hand but after my day i decided against it.... still need my hand for tomorrow!
Jennifer Lee Wildermuth
I think that it would b fine 2 do everything but the hem by machine bc this is workwear not dressy clothes
Katie Hoffmann
Ok cool
Katie Hoffmann
I gave up.... damn thing was bound and determined to b inside out!! grrrr.... back at'er tomorrow!
Jennifer Lee Wildermuth
