I'm really bad about posting regularly...

oops! But I've been sewing! Not as much as I should be, with Gettysburg now officially less than a month away. Shh, don't remind me.

Instead I've made two new 18th century outfits, one of which the weather has been decidedly uncooperative about me wearing. 80°+ weather and a wool gown do not go together. Maybe if I do some December stuff it'll get an outing. I also made a shortgown/bedgown, which mandie_rw and robinsnest have both posted pictures of, from our bedgown revolt last weekend.

Gettysburg sewing (and knitting and crocheting) is still progressing. I'm not worried yet that I won't finish my sewing. I'm not sure other things will be finished in time, though. I've got an in progress shawl, but it's the bottom of the list. The tunisian crochet under petti I'm working on is taking precedence over that. We'll see!

Im super interested in this petticoat! I picked up a tunisian crochet hook somewhere but have never had occasion to try it out.

I've been loving it as a technique! The pattern I'm using is from the 1867 Abergeldie Winter Book, with some adjustments for my yarn weight. Here's one of the ten panels for the petti. The original calls for red, white, and black yarn, but I was a bit short on the red, hence the blue!

That looks so cool! (er, warm?) i need to look into this more :)

It makes for a nice dense fabric so I anticipate it keeping me warm quite well. :D
