Have I finished the cartridge pleated skirt? of course not (it's getting closer, however)
Have I started to cut the lining fabric for the next project? maaaaaybe :D
I need a bodice to go with that skirt, and this morning I had some time when I could cut some fabric and quickly sew a mockup by machine.
I'm not 100% sure about the result, I may need to remove a bit of ease, but the fabric I'm going to use for the bodice was cheap enough¹ that I think I will cut it and I can always take it in later.
¹ a mystery fabric that was listed as something like 100% cotton, but had “lana” (wool) in the name, smells like wet sheep when wet, and looks and feels as if it has a cotton (or other plant fiber) in the weft and wool in the warp.
