One thing off my chest

In my living room I have a chest which (of course) contains garb. On this I tend to store ongoing sewing projects and fabric for them on top of it. Right now there is: pink wool for waistcoat for the riding habit (I hope to be able to make the front from the same wool as the jacket and skirt), a strip of black wool and a piece of trim for a belt for a 16th century german gown, a partly finished pencil-type skirt with a peplum that I started in September, a blouse that I started this summer but never finished and, until this evening: pieces for a white apron for Maja's new "Alice-in-Wonderland-esque" set of dress and apron. The dress was simple: just a bodice, a gathered skirt and puffed sleeves, but the apron had a bib and frills along the edge of the apron and the straps plus a heart-shaped lace-edged pocket and took more time and effort. But now it is finished and I feel very accomplished; my goal is to be able to see the top of that chest. Tomorrow I will either finish the skirt on the chest or work on the half-circle skirt I cut a week ago.
