It's Superbowl Sunday here in America Land. I don't follow football, so I'll be burying myself in the sewing loft and trying to accomplish something on the 1912 Titanic gown.

Yesterday was a Steampunk photoshoot I'm looking forward to sharing with you, but I haven't developed any of the photos yet, so I can't post them today! Instead...here's a look at my favorite striped things from the 1770s (and some from year 1780).

Can't argue with stripes!

I've got my yellow and blue stripe fabric cut into 19 inch widths, ready to go, but I *need* to finish many other things I've started, rather than jumping in to the polonaise that keeps invading my mind. Talk about Costume ADD!

Soon, though. Soon :-)
