I forgot to do my weekly "what I've sewn" post yesterday - oops! Well, it's the last day of my weekend
today, so we'll still count it, okay?
Not that I've done much. I made a
couple of little dresses for a good friend's new baby (although I made them in a larger size so she can hopefully wear them next spring/summer), and did some boring boring alterations that at least made me a bit of money. And banged a few grommets on my natural form corset, woo. A very few.
And then yesterday I went to see
Austenland with some friends. In costume, naturally!

Philly's just full of nice old brick walls for costume picture-taking! |
It doesn't seem to have gotten the best reviews, but I think I can speak for the group in saying we thoroughly enjoyed it! It's a chick flick and it's silly, but every once in a while I do like a silly movie, you know? And it was so funny! I think our little group might've laughed slightly louder due to knowing a bit more about the period than your average moviegoer - but I promise you we weren't the only ones laughing! Even the inevitable dragged-here-by-my-girlfriend guys seemed to be laughing. *grin*

Shoe shot! |
Anyway, I highly recommend
Austenland if you like silly girly movies, enjoy a bit of absurdity and ridiculousness - and
JJ Feild dressed as a Regency gentleman. And why would you
not like that??
