Sorry!

I've been so quite around here lately.  I have been super busy, so that's my excuse.  With sewing!  And other stuff of course.

I finished my Kirtle and jacket and partlet all in time for the ren faire, so that was good!  I had a blast with jennil and sallysews even though it was really cold.  Will post pictures from that soon.  Oh man, there will be a giant

wow, what a list! that's a lot to do in what seems like about 8 months! but they all sound awesome.

can't wait to see pics! have a fun weekend!

I know... I guess I'm thinking of that as a year. The last three things on the list are for CoCo next year, so that's at least 10 months away... ;P

Thanks, you too! Are you dressing up and doing anything fun for Halloween?

I've got a fair few things to do within the next 10 months too. At least one more 16th century gown once i finish the black elizabethan i'm almost done with, then something new for the CoCo gala (civil war? 1780s polonaise? TOO MANY CHOICES!).

I love the holiday itself, but halloween always sucks for me. I don't have anyone up here in montana who dresses up hardcore. it's all slutty girls and the boys do next to nothing. so looks like it'll just be a small private party at a friends.

i'm going to bust out my trusty harry potter school uniform costume. i have an Alice in Wonderland costume that i wore last year that's a perfect disney movie version, but i tried it on two days ago and i look like shit- i've gained about 10 pounds since i wore it last! oh well. No point making anything fancy for a party i'll be at for maybe 2 hours and no one will notice. :(

Hooray for Harry Potter Halloween costumes! :) Sorry that you can't go more all out, I hope you still have fun though! And I agree with you, there are too many choices! I think I'm permanently infected with CADD... :p

i'm excited to see the blue 1830s dress! and lucky you going to sturbridge village! jealous! what pattern are you using for your 1820s corset?

[bellamissella]

I'm using one from Waugh's Corsets and Crinolines, I think it's the 1830's? It has cording and gussets, minimal boning and a busk. But from what I can tell, the shape didn't change much from 1810 to 1840... so I'm hoping it will be multi-purpose! :)

Sounds like you have awesome projects lined up!

[bellamissella]

Thanks Gloria! I hope I can get them all done! I'm realizing, it's kind of a long list... ;P
