I got the linen closet re-organized!!! YAY!
Now the hard part is getting Chris to not just shove things in the front. How you get towels to stack vertically? I don’t know but he does it. Pisses me off…which is why there was a bunch of laundry in front of it, but I had to re-fold everything and re-organize it before putting everything away…so it was piling up. 
But it’s done now. I do have one stack of linen table cloths that need to go back into the cedar hope chest that are in the closet, but I need to wait now until at least Wednesday night when we can move all the stuff off of it (it’s where we have our TV/VCR/PS2).
So at least one of the big things is off of my list and it looks good too.
(Oh, and I got some more work done on the Marmalade Dog outfit, and a little done on the game I’m going to be GMing there)

Ok, so I didn’t get most of the stuff done that I wanted to.
- Dishes (ad nauseum) Really I get them done and the boys fill the sink…
- Re-Arrange the linen closet Nope
- Order Grommet machine (once Chris’ phone rebate comes in) No rebate yet
- Put Shirt together, Serge Waist Coat & Breeches pieces, Put breeches together, Figure out what I’m going to actually do for Chris’ Tudor/doublet Nope
- Revise Corset Class Notes Yup, got them revised and updated. Ready to be printed once I know how many students to expect.
- Work on project for Dave Ok, so Dave doesn’t know what I’m making him, really…he could figure it out, but I think he wants to be surprised. I got his double and I was able to make the basic form. I need to get the collar and pockets and put them all together.
- Work on faux suede stays (at least think about it) I cut out a pattern to use with it, but I have to make sure the pattern will fit me, and the amount of fabric I purchased. If not, I may have to use another pattern. I need to finish another project first that never made it to this list.
Other stuff that I worked on/need to work on more.
- Work on other sewing project for Marmalade Dog (got lots done)
- Finalize stuff for GMing at Marmalade Dog (I ran the module for our group, so I just need to revise notes and make pcs)

Sunday Karmada decided she wanted to make a corset for a cosplay/steampunk outfit. So, pattern addict that I am, of course I had a Victorian corset pattern in roughly her size (because who in the hell is an actual pattern size that doesn’t need alterations,? No one that falls into the scientific category of “alive”). So we altered the pattern, made a mock up, adjusted the mock up, 2x until we got the desired tension and effect. I had her mark all her seams, then trim the seam allowances and now she’s got a pattern to cut the pieces out. Hopefully we can work on it a bit more this week. 
I want to order a Grommet machine so I can do grommets much more easily and quickly. Then we can use it for Karmada’s corset and some other stuff I want to make. I’m tired of missing with the hammer and whacking myself. CJ is picking up my swearing when I do that. “Momma what is godamrit? You ok?”

Ok, so I did contemplate trim. This is what I came up with, my two best bets.
I decided on the one to the right. The one on the left just didn’t have enough visual weight.
One thing I just didn’t want to do was outline every buttonhole like on Chris’ Scottish uniform waistcoat.

Friday’s game went well. Finally got both groups back together (a pair went to a con, and their pcs did a side mission) and I didn’t do a lot of prep, yes I was tired, but even before that because I had no idea which path they’d take. Read more
