Considering that I spent a lot of time cross-stitching this year, I'm surprised I made so much, but I had a good variety of projects this year. I didn't sew any clothes for modern wear so I should try to do more of that next year.

( This year's projects behind the cut )

1800 bordered print gown, early 19th century undergarments, 1890s gold-checked walking gown, 17th century undergarments, tatting, 1850s plaid dress, edwardian undergarments, vintage undergarments, millinery, mid-19th century undergarments, hallowe'en costumes, cross-stitching, 1880s gold-striped gown, vintage knitting, year in review, 1870s le baiser dress, victorian knitting, 18th century pinballs, 18th century stockings

Evening Bodice

For reasons that are not quite clear to me, I made an evening bodice to go with my c. 1870 white skirt. I saw the ribbon for the belt at Costume College and immediately wanted to make this.

This ended up seeming to be a year of little pieces more than full garments, though I did make costumes from the skin out for the 1690's and 1910's. I did a lot of knitting this year. One of my goals for the year was to do better with my hair for events, and I think I succeeded. There were some hairdos that I was very proud of. I got to go to a ( Read more... )

I think I just have two snaps, one hook and eye, and seven flowers left to finish my 1916 dress. It should be done before the end of the holiday weekend. Then I think I'll have time to put together a crinoline bustle before CLW, which should pack much more nicely than my petticoat with steels and be more appropriate for the Le Baiser dress anyway ( Read more... )

1. I finished my bonnet for the tea Saturday. It came out well, and I'm going to ask Kaycee to take pictures of it at the tea. She's usually quite obliging, and she takes excellent pictures ( Read more... )

The Le Baiser dress is finished...I think. I need to put it on and make sure, but I think it's finished. I need to put it on to get pictures too. Then I need to find an event to wear it to.

The last bits finished were the collar and cuffs, which is as it should be, right?

I've finished 73 repeats of my petticoat lace. When I blocked a big chunk last month, it came out to 1.5yd for 40 repeats so 80 repeats should give me 3yd. I'll finish knitting 80 and block it before I bind off just to make sure I've got the whole 3yd. I've definitely gotten faster than one repeat per hour and now know the pattern so well that I ( Read more... )
