I’ve got my sewing mojo back!

Most things in my life go very well at the moment and that spills over to me sewing too. Much appreciated, as I sew pretty slowly. So not only have a finished my 1797’s gown, but I’ve also come quite a bit on my fifties skirt.

It’s made out of rust-coloured wool, a bit browner than the pic. It has a raised front with two darts.


Two panels in front and four in the back, the extra width pleated towards CB.


I really like the back. I need to sew the pleats down now and then it just need waistband, hemming and lining. Yay me!
