Random things make a post

•  I am going to this class on making Regency jockey caps; I'm making the heavily-pleated one (in pale blue with bees) at the bottom.  I have cut out and hand-pleated the two main pieces; I've also made a couple of test cockades and may make more if I feel motivated.  My fabric is a lovely navy blue linen-silk blend that's lustrous but not as flashy as satin.
• I just cut a full-blown bloom of my favorite rose, Mme. Isaac Pereire.

Options for today:

• Unpick a dress binding that's just a tiny bit puckery.
• Watch Ep 2 of The Stuarts for mocking purposes.
• Work on fic (The Thick of It wingfic, don't ask).
• Watch The Bitter Tea of General Yen.
• Fiddle with bias fabric and make more cockades.

Non-options for today:

• Obsessively reload pages on Malaysian Airlines crash in Ukraine.

I have a friend whose favourite film is the Bitter Tea of General Yen. This is a random fact brought to you by Lexin.

Somebody recommended it (I think on Tumblr?) last night and I was just in time to record it. Said to be visually lush and somewhat silly.
