Good idea, Blndzrfn!!!!!!!!!!
  How's the caraco going?  I had to work today (kindof a babysitting assignment), so I got three hours of hand sewing in on my caraco.....I just have to finish the top stitching along the bottom and put the hooks and eyes/ boning down  the front and I have a new outfit!!  Then I can start on Terry's silk suit of clothes circa 1782. What a joy

My project list
finish the front closure of my striped linen caraco
finish my matching petticoat and jacket of white cotton with a coral floral print on it   (this means all that friggin' gathered self fabric trim that goes all around the bottom of the jacket, around the neck, down the front, around each sleeve ....can we say all hand stitched rolled hems?
finish my gray striped silk sack back gown, putting new sleeves, stomacher, and doing the hem...oh, yeah, also make a petticoat to go with it...either gray stripe also, or the mauve silk taffetta I picked out for it
....and it gets better....
Make silk taffetta stripe coat (1780's style) for hubby
Make olive green silk taffetta small clothes (waistcoat and breeches) for hubby
Deadline? .....November 29 for the St. Augustine event
"that which does not kill us makes us stronger"
I'll be able to lift a small car after I get all this done
