Sunday sewing on the dresses

I am now at this stage:

Baby's dress is "put together", sleeves have elastic, needs the ribbon sash sew down, closig the lining at the waist, back closure, hem and diaper cover needs elastic.

Oldest's dress is being basted together at the waist/bodice juncture, needs elastic on sleeves, waist ribbon sash, closing the lining at the waist, back closure, hems.

Do we think we can do it by Wednesday?

I do, it is mostly hand sewing at this point, the kids are cooperating better today than yesterday. Yesterday was BAD! Today the weather cooled off, the house is cool, so they are clustered in the den watching tv and playing. The little one is napping. Bean soup is on the stove, cooking. We will be having soup, biscuits and who knows what else.

More later or tomorrow.

Is it oppressive?

Not much sewing going on here, but I have been cruising the internet more than usual and was not feeling well today. I came across a post on a blog today (Gertie) about whether vintage clothes are oppressive, going backwards. I do not think this at all, I think it is individuality, flattering and enhancing the feminine look, wishing for simpler life and times, and probably other ideas out there. I also believe men and women are different, but capable of being equals in various ways, but there are things that are inherently male and female. Different but equal. And have no problem with dressing up the physical to be attractive. Not to the extreme, but to look neat, appropriately dressed, made-up. I am not a feminist in the traditional sense, I am a stay at home mom with kids. I believe the differences are good. Now, I do believe in equal pay for equal work, but does that mean I want to do the heavy industrial physical work? No, but I know some women will and can. If they are c...

Post a comment and I will draw this weekend. And to last weeks', now I have your info & they will go out tomorrow. At this rate, I may thin my stash quicker than I thought. Once my kids go back to school, I may go through the fabric stash and make little scrap bags for quilting scraps for giveaways. On the home sewing front, I was able to get one top put together for daughter and the second is also sewn together. Both need bias tape finishing (handwork) which can be done in the evening in front of the TV. Maybe tomorrow I will get the remaining pants cut out, bringing her total to a possible 5 pairs of capri/shorts for school...
