We've continued to have beautiful weather all week. Wednesday I set the replacement satin center panel in the child's purple velour dress for camera key before heading out to A&S where I led the discussion on choli. I told the girls they could call to meet with me one-on-one for actually fitting and sewing these. I learned that the blocky construction was a more modern variation; the period paintings show the scoop neck bodice form instead. Thursday I cut the garnet velveteen for a doublet but I didn't get around to sewing it up. The weekend was really busy beginning with Friday in Auburn and Bellevue for Shelly's funeral. Isabeau and Carlos rode with us. Others there from Magmor were Isadora, Volkmar, Asa, and Vasilla. Isadora and Volkmar invited us over for the evening. We took along the Balderdash game and I was soundly beaten by the three of them. Saturday Leofwyna and I hit all the Goodwill stores for the 99-cent sales where I had lots of luck finding cotton cutters, a black/red brocade skirt and a sweater dress. Sunday we went up to Omaha for the Chanticleer performance. We headed out early enough to eat at Pla Too and stop in at a few thrift stores. I came away with only a belt for Gold key.

Monday i spent some time on a couple of the three half-shirts.  Downstairs in the evening I continued processing the cutters that have been in the works off and on for a week.  They've been washed, ironed and the lights have been stripped out.  Most recently I've been stripping out the darks.
