24) Create: Sew Period Ensemble
24) Sew Period ensemble - skirt, shirt, jacket, underclothes - 14APR09
Need to choose silhouette era for both goals:
To go with 23) Construct period foundations.
Have patterns for Civil War, 1880 (dress only) and 1770s. Have a lot of fabric.
30MAR09: 1880s in Fashion, polonaise. I want to make a polonaise from the gold damask, had originally planned to make a 1770s polonaise. Perhaps can make it changeable? Bustling can hide a lot of sins. Perhaps change era of goal??
31MAR09: edit goal (replaced "Victorian" with "Period").
11APR09: Bought 2 pattern storage boxes at Joanne's sale, $4.99/2.
14APR09: Images uploaded to gallery, in "Create" album. Patterns sorted & stored. One box all historical & costume. One box all other.
