Spent a good chunk of yesterday fabric shopping on AliExpress. I didn't find anything that will work for the video I had in mind, but I did splurge and buy two lengths of this.

I'll have 10 yards of it to play around with, and I think it would make a smashing 1850s ballgown. I've always loved this dress in the KCI, and this fabric has the same colors to it and has sort of the same feel to it with the lattice designed border. It's hard to tell what the fabric is exactly, but it looks like that stretchy sort of satin fabric, so I'm hoping it doesn't fray and that I can cut around the scalloped edge to make a fun hem. If it's not, then I'll do some experiments with fray check.

M got the word yesterday that the entire office is supposed to come in for a full day of overtime on Saturday, which he is pretty salty about. I would be, too, especially since his office isn't actually behind on work, his boss just wants to get a jump on the work for March and April. O.o

But, since I'll have Saturday to myself again, I'm going to do another filming binge. I have two more Frock Talks to film, and I have an "essential sewing items" video that I think I can do fairly quickly since there's no actual sewing involved. I may edit some stuff this weekend, too, since I haven't managed to do anything after work this past week.
