As well as this, since I am returning to the museum, I am in need of a historical sewing project. It will be a 1890s petticoat because it is one of the undergarments I never thought to make when I started my walking suit. This would mean plenty of straight seams to fill my shifts, as well as (hopefully) metres of gathers. Also I would love to have a white skirt for the summer season in general. Therefore I will need to buy possibly 8 metres of cotton and a considerable amount of lace (there will in fact be insertion lace decoration) if I want the maximum amount of volume. I'm also considering asking the collections manager if they have any petticoats of the period at the museum as a reconstruction project would be very exciting. (I will also most likely have to make a bustle pad to go along with this)

In regards to drawing, I am both the most inspired and artblocked I've been in a very long time. The art muscles are rusty and it's incredibly fustrating that I don't have the skillset to be able to draw what I see in my head. The reasonable answer is to study and continue drawing yet the likelihood of that actually happening is slim to none.
Another creative venture is that my friends DnD game is actually happening! We had our session 0 the other day and it was so much fun. It turns out I was extremely prepared with my character, so all I needed to do was fill out a sheet with my rolled stats. My lovely Moobloom Druid now has a name: Tarragon, which is actually a herb but it was so perfect for a fantasy setting.
Hopefully I will return at the end of the week with something to show. If not feel free to pelt me with hammers.
