10:30, a pretty, moderate day. Finished sewing up the back of the coatdress in the afternoon; started assembling the fronts. Leofwyna still resisting antibiotic tummy so I went out to supper alone. After supper headed back downstairs to put back and front together and deal with weird collar . Worked on it until 2am upstairs hand stitching the tops of the back pleats and finishing off the collar. Tried it on and figured it would do size-wise although perhaps I overdid the waist and hip increases. The experience with the grey outfit had influenced me and I have very little experience sewing for my new size..

11am Earlier this morning I took Bonnie out for her 6 o'clock then went back to bed. It's going to be another hot, sunny day. After eating I headed back downstairs to add the sleeves to the coatdress; it's not going to be finished. Pulled petticoats, etcetra, to wear without the coatdress but I'll take it along and continue the hand stitching at the mystery party. As supper goes the party was a bust but the mystery was fun and there were half again as many as we had at the previous one. I had it narrowed down to two and two others agreed that one of those two had dunnit so I went along with that and we were right. Afterward I stopped for supper on the way home.
