but my latest sewing project, started yesterday, to be finished today. hallie needed an outfit to be for a history class "salon." she is role-playing Mary Astell, an english proto-feminist from the 1690s. hallie refused to have her picture taken (NOT her fav class assignment, to put it mildly...), so here is ysa looking very formal.
the fabric is polished chintz (free gift from a neighbor), accents of antique lace (pillowcase edging), bodice is separate and fully lined. my old pfaff did a great job sewing through the dense gathering of the skirt--three 60" wide fabric widths gathered down to the slimness of hallie's waist. still to be done are a swath of hook and eyes to secure the back of the bodice.

Very nice. I hope someday we will see Hallie modeling it. That might be a fun fashion show -- all history!!!
I'm going to go crop photoshop my head out of that photo...
It was the dawning of MJ not being on the basketball court—certainly an odd sight for all, and yet Tinker Hatfield believed so deeply in the Air Jordan line that he pushed for its release regardless. The IX featured a sleek upper with a lateral forefoot support story. Along the outsole, it will be Mark Smith’s graphic patterning that the IX is most remembered for – that and it being the shoe worn by Michael Jordan on the famous statue, front and center, outside of the United Center. If you disregard the fact he never actually wore the shoe in Bulls uniform, the IX really was a great shoe rooted in support, fit and the global celebration of basketball. Full-grain leather upper with perforation for breathability Leather wrapped cupsole with full-length Air-Sole unit for cushioning Rubber outsole for excellent traction
Great sewing project! This is nice. I just love it.
