Read over the instructions for LM's regency long stays. Got overwhelmed. Looked for easier alternative. Didn't want to buy new pattern. Didn't want to draft something. Ate lunch, felt better. Went back to LM. Reread instructions. Ignored insane cording layout. Pattern is actually only a half-dozen pieces. Much less intimidating. 

So, maybe stays soon? Ugh. Maybe.

My brain has definitely switched over to Regency Mode, and I need it to not do that because I need to keep making steady progress on the ruffle monster. I'm going to try and get back into the habit of working on it every night. Tonight I will attempt to sew together the strips for the black base part of the next tier. It is one French seam, so completely doable. Tomorrow, I'll sew together and hem the next ruffle. Three French seams and two hems. I should be able to pull that off. This weekend, the goal is to sew one ruffle onto the next tier. I think these are completely achievable goals.

Next big goal is to get Tier 2 finished and attached by the end of the month. I know I said I wanted to finish the entire dress by then, but that's just unrealistic. I realized that I finished the first tier in three weeks only because I had two very long weekends of nearly uninterrupted sewing time, and I don't get a long weekend again until September, and it's my birthday weekend. So, new and more achievable goal is Tier 2 by end of July, finish entire dress by end of August.

The Regency event is on September 12th, so I'll set Dickens sewing aside at the beginning of Sept. and focus on getting the regency stuff done for that. Then it's back to Dickens, probably up until the minute I leave for the festival. Because that's how I roll.

This was my series on my own set of LM stays from 2022, with thinkies and fitting and cording processes if it's of any potential help. You'll want entries from Jan22-Feb22, so start at the bottom of the page and work your way up.
