Historical Sew Monthly 2015
12 Challenges? I think I can manage that this year. So I'm going to join the Historical Sew Monthly.
Yeah, I tried to do a monthly/half-marathon of the Fortnightly this year and failed near the end. But that was because the thesis took over my life. Prior to that, I was doing alright. Since I won't have to work on the thesis soon I should have more time to sew. Plus, all the sewing necessary for CoCo will help me out. So, without further ado, the first three challenges:
January - Foundations: This one was easy. I wanted to make my 1880 corset and petticoat this month anyways. They're the foundation garments for at least 2 of my CoCo outfits.
February - Colour Challenge Blue: Not sure. Blue isn't a colour I'm very fond of wearing and none of my CoCo stuff even goes with blue really, except for my GoT Tyrell gown. At the moment I am considering making some blue slippers to go with that, but I don't really want to spend time on something that isn't really necesary when I have so many other things to make. My other thought is throwing some blue ribbon in the petticoat, but that seems like a cop-out. Hm...
March - Stashbusting: Definitely my Little House bustle dress, or at least the skirt for it. I have all the fabrics for it in the stash and the pattern will be coming from Fashions of the Gilded Age. Pretty excited for this outfit!
