Regency House Party and sewing update

[madamemodiste]

So last night, quite by accident, I discovered that a local PBS channel has been running Regency House Party on Thursday nights! I missed last week, but I saw most of last night's. I haven't seen it in quite a while as I have no idea where my VHS copy is that I recorded when it originally aired several years ago. Now I'm on a Regency kick and want to make a new gown, but I can't!

In other news, the pocket I attempted to make last week was a failure, so I had to re-cut a new jacket peplum. Yesterday I made the pocket flaps with contrasting piping. If I can't have a pocket, I can still have pocket flaps!

Regency House Party was pretty fun, I may have to set tivo to chatch it.

If it's any consolation the pockets on that jacket are pretty small anyway, and it ruins the look to have anything more bulky than a credit card in them. I don't think I've ever used mine. Far better to just have pockets in the petticoat.

Are pipings period? I loved your pocket flaps, just so you know I'm not dissing you, I'm just wondering =)
