It looks like it is going to be a beautiful day. The sun is shining and it looks glorious outside. It isn't as warm as I would like it, but I will take the sun.
The last few days I have been working hard on Thornton Square line of clothes. I have been sewing replica clothes for years, and decided I would do it as a side business. I worked all winter on new designs. I am almost finished. I have one design left. While I mostly do 1800's replica clothing, I did one from a later year. I have designed a dress in her honor of my neighbor who will be 98 in 2 weeks. The dress is from 1911, the year she was born. Most of my research over the years has been for the 1800's, so I had much research to do for this project. I found a picture, and I designed one from that. I have the underdress done, I just need to do the overdress. Then on April 16, I will wear it down to her house and show her. I will also bring the picture and show her that as well. She has been a dear friend to me. She has taught me things about sewing, that I could never learn in any school or book. She herself went to school for sewing, and is passing on her skills to me.
In honor of her, my new design will be called "Muriel".
