Bits and pieces

To be honest, I haven't really been sewing much lately. It's not that I didn't have the time, I just wasn't motivated enough to use that time to sew. But I've been doing some prep work, and other little things, that I didn't deem interesting enough to justify a blog post. But since this break is getting kind of long, here's some bits and pieces:

-the circular gallifreyan shirt:
Finished embroidering the collar and halfway attached it to the base of the shirt. Now I'm too lazy to iron it so I can finish attaching it.

- patterns:
I bought a pattern for a vest/waistcoat/gilet (I have no clue what to call it in English), because up until now, I always stole my brother's when I wanted to wear one. I traced the pieces I needed instead of cutting them because I wasn't too sure about the size I needed and didn't want to destroy the paper pattern, so that's as far as I got.
No pictures yet, so you get the pattern envelope. I'll be doing view A first

Also in patterns: I'm still scaling up a 19th century corset pattern, I even have some fabric for it.

 I will be doing full posts when (if) I finish any of these, but right now I'm kind of busy with other things. We'll see how it goes.
