2014 Cos review
Everyone is doing such lovely 2014 sewing reviews, I've been dragging my feet because mine is so small!
This was a super weird cos year for me, only four new costumes! The least amount since my 2nd year of costuming, and one of them doesn't even really count!

Jo Grant
I really love Jo Grant, so I was super jazzed to do another one of her outfits.
Plus this happened:
Black Widow
This is the "doesn't really count" outfit, it's 100% bought and borrowed. Bon asked me to do it with her Maria Hill. I would like to eventually do more super hero type things, so I thought I may as well get over my body suit ambivalence now. I got this body suit off Amazon, she made the belt and wrist things, I borrowed her Poison Ivy wig (the closest either of us had) and her boots, and Molly did my makeup.
Black Canary
Black Canary on the other hand has been on my list for awhile!
This costume had a lot of fortuitous colour matching! I found tights at Target that just happened to match the blue in my stash that I used for my jacket, and Bon found adorable fingerless gloves at Hot Topic of all places in blue that matched wonderfully (worn at Comic Con, which I just realized I never blogged about).
Lastly!
Country Regency
This one is a bit of a cheater, considering I still haven't sewn proper closures in. But I feel like.. if I wore it, it must count as complete!
For 2015 I'm going to level up this dress, a process I've already started and may post about soon (ha).
And that's really it!
I made a bunch of crafty type things, which you can see under the crafty tag, but still all things considered not thaaaat much.
It's been a busy year! Though most of it has happened in the latter half of the year, there was the prep work beforehand.
So non-sewing highlights!
+ Went to Thailand/Cambodia (which I'll continue posting about soon [for real]).
+ Bought a house (which I wanted to post about in a big look at my loveliness, but my progress has been slow, so... later).
