What to wear to Belvidere

[robinsnest]

 Hmm so a lot has happened since I blogged last...

Lets see, I went up to upstate NY 2, Vermont 1, saw almost the entirety of my family , oh yeah and got married. I'll post a quicky write up of that some other time when the pictures come back, but in the meantime I've moved back to costume things. What can I say, I'm looking to return to that which creatively fulfills me :-)

So my next event this year is Belvidere, If and it's a big if, I can reclaim my sewing room from wedding central, I'd like to make something new. The problem is I have zero idea what. I feel all over the place and kind of lost. I know it's a combination of not being able to see my floor and the post-wedding crash but I just feel lost! 

Someone just tell me what to make...

what's the year? What's in your stash? What would challenge you?

hmm well there isn't really a hard and fast year, we usually all go in some variety of bustle era. Digging through the stash might be a good place to start, nothing really comes to mind instantly. I figured jomar run was in my future.

I'd like to challenge you to use 50% materials from your stash, but I don't know you well enough to do that...I know that right now, I might be hard pressed to accomplish such a task, but others in my friendship could do 100% stash and not even dent theirs.

So, I'd say it's a good place to start, then go to Jomar with an open mind and see what asks you to take it home.
