Day Bodice

20 November 2007

As I write this tonight, it’s just after midnight and it might as well be five a.m. considering how tired I am.  The three and a half hours I tried to sleep this morning just weren’t enough.  I am struggling to keep my eyes open and have been since about three o’clock this afternoon.  I just keep moving around when I get sleepy.  The last time, I got up from serging and tore some silk into ruffle strips, ’cause that was more active than sitting at the serger.  But, finally, just now, even my beloved Pirates of the Caribbean DVD isn’t enough to keep me awake. 

It’s been a good productive day, though.  I got Kathleen’s bodice fitting all  prepared and a sketch made for her.   Her mock-up fitting went great, and I’m into the construction phase on the real thing now—it’s all cut out and partially built.  I worked on my day bodice most of the day—the bodice is done, except for sleeve cuffs, a bias edge around the neck, boning, grommets and a little bit of trim.  I’m pretty pleased with it. 

So, for now, I’m calling it—off to dreamland for me.
