Thanks! I usually do it when I'm stuck on or between projects. This time, my best machine is at the doctor's & the others arent up to the jobs at hand. Euphrosnia is wearing a boned red silk taffeta petticoat of the Tudor Tailor variety. It's finished, dramatic & beautiful but came out much too large for me as I abruptly lost a lot of weight. Considering remodeling it. Sulking. She's also wearing a vintage 1930s hat given me as a thank gift from a dance friend who asked me to come look and evaluate his mother's & grandmother's vintage clothes. Adonis is dressed as a flasher wearing only the jacket of 1750s gentleman's suit that needs some buttons sewn back on. It will be done in time for the Playford Ball. The heads, Anne, Catherine & Charles are wearing the same old 19th c bonnets, except for Catherine who's wearing a tacky turban of batt to resize her as a form to make a friend's new "flowerpot" hennin.
