well, its raining like hell here. Has been raining for hours and hours. So I qui all plans of going into town and sewed instead. Am sewing, that is.
Finished the trial stays, tried them on, cut down the back some more, the side panel and then off to the final (hopefully) version, which is all assembled and waiting for lacing holes. These I cannot start on till I get to town and buy buttonhole twist in a nice green colour matching the binding (which hasn't been cut out yet).
Started a 1796 dress of dark blue popeline in between and finfished the bodice just now (it's the one from Past Patterns, wonderful but really a lot of fizzly work). Love it.
Have to go to town to get more buttonhole twist for two more cords.
See, it all depends on the weather...
Will start ripping the skirt panels in a moment.
Knitting:
Knee-highs are progressing nicely but...a lot of tedious stockinette...I used to love stockinette...but this is just a tad too much (and a second sock is waiting...*ack*)
The last days of holidays (well, meaning medicine-free August) are approaching faster than I wish!
And SP11:
Have contacted my very nice downstream pal and got contacted by my upstream pal! *yahoo*

If you can't find a good match on the buttonhole twist, I've found 4 strands of normal sewing thread (e.g. gutermans)used together, is equivalent to using one strand of the buttonhole thread. And you get a _much_ wider choice of colours!
Really looking forward to seeing the finished costume :)
