Isis Wardrobe

I'm working away on my various projects, but thay all seems to be in dull stages, not much fit to show off. I hope to finnsih my pannier tomorrow, though. I've also about to sew the boning channels on the Regecny stays, and the lacing holes on my corded early 16th century stays.

Several people on my f-lists, both here and elswhere, has been talking very warmly about BPAL. So now I'm about to order some samples. Does anyone has any good advice for tryouts? I generally suit well in perfum with vanilla and ambra, but most florals make me stink like cat's piss. Yes, truly. BPAL's site is very nice, but a wee bit overwheling for a newbie.

I've decided to embrace my inability tojust have one project going. So I've been working a little on four, and made quite a progress.

1. Started the next skirt-piece of the embroidered polonaise. Then I've just have the back left before I can sew it together.

2. Sewn all but one boning channel on my panniers. Then I just have to hem it and insert the boning.

3. Assembled the Regency stays and started to sew in the gussets in the lining.

4. Finished boning the pirate bodice and started making the lacing holes.
