Costuming year in reviews

[robinsnest]

so in 2010 I was frustrated that I only made 1.5 new outfits...and I did better in 2011..although I think I should just accept that I'll never be as prolific or as polished as madamekatBUT I did do better! 

This year I made:

Pocket hoops that never had a dress made for them but which have a francaise gown in their future. 



A new Jacobean Jacket for my first ever Costume Con:


(sure that's not the BEST picture of it, but I like it cause it's fun, the world's most fabulous elevator)

Then I didn't produce much because I had this giant event...



Then I made a new 1870s dress for Belvidere



a new 1770s jacket for the battle of Germantown



New 18th century stays:



and finally ending the year on the WORST EVER note the stupid-that-shall-not-be-named. 



Lets end on another wedding photo just to get that disgusting taste out of our mouth shall we?



I also sewed a teens skirt for Kass, a shirt, three kirtles, 2 cholis, and various accessories for RH while I was there. So while I didn't made the quantity or quality of things I really wanted to, I DID do a lot more dress up events, had a lot of fun with my friends, and will say costuming wise this year was a drastic improvement over last.

That Costume Con shot is too funny - oh, those elevators! I did love confusing normally-dressed people unfortunate enough to share the elevator with a costumer or two...

And you look so pretty in that last picture! :)

I think that's the funniest part of costume con, somehow random tourists were staying there too, they must have been SO confused.

All of that sewing, and a wedding--I'd say that's a year well spent!

It's remarkable how much of your life a wedding eats! And then it's over so fast. This year I'll hopefully have much more time.

The stays and 1170 jacket is to die for, but you've made many goodies in 2011!

I meant 1770 jacket....

Thanks!

Considering the wedding and all the work you did at RH for most of the year, I'd say your sewing list is very, very good! So other than a francaise, what do you have planned for 2012?

[sewloud.livejournal.com]

I'm going to focus on finishing the teal francaise and making the black and gold Cairnwood dress from Dress U. Those are my two biggies.
