This past weekend there was an event at Walker Tavern. Sadly I was not able to attend due to work =(
So not being able to go kicked my butt into gear. I started a mock skirt. I know skirts are super easy but I wanted to make a mock one just to see if I have the basic enough knowledge to make one. I think I got it down but it's not finished.
Tonight though I just finished a mock slat bonnet! It looks really awesome. Especially since I have this outrageous fabric that I will never ever use for anything else. I used this pattern . Which took me forever to find. Friday night I started with a different pattern but it just was not coming out right. So after I found this pattern last night I knew that I was going to bust it out.
After taking my mom to the village for mother's day I came home and got to work.
I cut the first outline and it was just wrong,wrong,wrong. Cut again and again wrong. So of course 3rd time is the charm! I am so glad I did a mock first. Cause I used up soooo much fabric. I would have been crying my eyes out if I started with the real fabric.
The only thing I may change is to make the brim about half an inch longer. But I just love how it looks. I'm so excited to by the fabric and make it for real.
So enough with the chit chat and here are some pictures for ya!

Also I will probably cut out a mock bodice and maybe hand sew it? Depends on whats going on with and all that.
Also I will be getting more fabric for new petticoats, chemise and for sure drawers. Also I would like to take a stab at making a corded petticoat. Probably work on that next with one of my horrible make do petticoats.
Well know I have a giant mess to clean up. See you all soon!
