I want to do something fun!

[frualeydis]

So, I want to do something fun, i.e. sew something. But I don't know what. I have cut and partly sewn a pair of sleeves for my peasant kirtle, but my hands are hurting so much that I doubt more hand sewing is a good idea. And they're not exactly fun.
I don't have any fulled wool I want to use for my warm sleeves to wear with the red sixteenth century gown. And that would also mean more hand sewing.
I think I need a new effigy corset. The comfy corset fits me nicely, but I need a corset that compresses my bust more, since otherwise my old dresses won't fit and I would also like to have a corset with tabs. But there's a problem: I can either start on my planned all hand sewn effigy corset, from hand woven linen and boned with reeds, but that would be bad for my hands. It's also not ideal to start such an ambitious project when I'm in the process of loosing weight. Or I could make a machine sewn corset quick and easy. The problem here is that I would love to use plastic whalebone then, which I don't have and which isn't sold in Sweden. So I would have to order it from England.

So instead I waste time on LJ and wander around the flat aimlessly.
