At work

My ankle still hurts a lot if I walk on it too much, so I am using my crutches more again. Today I had to get to the university since I teach a class, but I relaxed at home before lunch, working on my soon finished regency redingote, and listening to an audio book together with Rickard.

I look forward to going home and finish the very last hand sewing. Or at least the hand sewing that I can finish, I need to get either buttons or some other closure for it, but my foot is not well enough to get me down town to buy supplies.

So, next project ought to be one of these:

* Santa skater dress from stretch velour for me

* regency dresses for the dolls

* Winter bonnet to match the redingote. This will require some notions to finish, but I think that I could start it with what I have at home.

A group that I've never met has this meet up in 19th century clothing to go to the Christmas market at the nearby (extremely nearby, I see it from my kitchen window) amusement park on Sunday the 10th, and I'm hoping that I will be well enough for that by then, but then I would like to have a bonnet. And actually I wouldn't mind having a wool dress to wear under the redingote too, though so many layers of linen and cotton (shift, stays, petticoat, gown) may be warm enough.
