the lecture, a corset and new blue fabric
The cold is marginally better but now Maja has caught it too.
I have been doing some work on my lecture, maybe 1/4 of it is done, which is okay I guess, since it doesn't have to be finished until saturday. Right now my head isn't in a state to continue.
Tomorrow I'm going to see my rheumatology doctor and then I'm going to pass by my job and collect some Overhead-sheets and slides that I need + a book I've requested from the library. I hope Vendela and Valeria get well soon, both for their own sake and because I need time to work on the lecture and with them at home private time is very scarce.
Tonight my friend Tala is coming over to help me and my sister cut our edwardian corsets. She's going to a tailor's school and has recently made an edwardian corset for herself. I can't decide what fabric to use as the top layer but I'm leaning towards a pale blue grosgrain curtain that I originally intended to make a 16th century italian dress from.
Yesterday 6 metres blue 100% wool tabby arrived in the post (ca 8$/metre). It was a little scratchier, stiffer and looser than I had anticipated but that is being taken care of right now in the washing machine. I washed a test swatch on 40 degrees (centigrade of course) and it shrunk ca 10 % which is acceptable, and became much softer. the plans for this fabric is a half circle mantle for my husband, lined with my orange/green shot silk taffeta and an early 14th century dress for me, maybe lined with grey wool,depends if I can get some more on friday when I go to Borås again (if both me and Maja are well).
