saffiter | Not quite as panicked as the other day

So, Saturday involved cutting out patterns and starting to sew everything together by hand. It was very, very slow going. Sunday morning things changed. Instead of running one of the dresses up for me, housemate sat me down and showed me how to use the sewing machine. I've now got basic skills on a sewing machine AND a nearly completed 2nd dress: the kirtle.

Now I just need to finish the sleeves and do the button holes and I can move on to the underdress (15th century underwear). That dress is apparently very basic and can be done within a few minutes. I just need to pick up some calico for it.

All going well, I should be finished all of this by Friday.
