With the new year beginning today I figured it was high time I wrote a year in review post. My very first blog post was about my costuming plans for 2012.

Some fell by the wayside but I did acomplish most of the things on my list, and then some. I'm only including personal costuming projects in this post since including the mirriads of things I made for sale and on commission would make this post overlong.
So here it is, my costuming year in review.
 |
| Hedgehog wig |
 |
| Painted regency shoes |
 |
| Edwardian evening gown. Made from 2 Sari's. |
 |
| Not new, but I tricked out my pink ballgown for Dress U. Then promptly sold it at Jane Fest |
 |
| Silk sleeveless spencer, made from leftover sari fabric from my edwardian gown. |
 |
| Brown taffeta covered bonnet inspired by a bonnet in Napoleon and the Empire of Fashion. |
 |
| Late 1790's block printed open robe. |
 |
| Sari ballgown and matching reticule. |
 |
| Cotton lined German straw bonnet |
 |
| Late 1790's work gown and long net fichu. |
 |
| Work gown back view. |
 |
| 1790's curly wig |
|
|
 |
| Red wool girls cloak |
 |
| Silk covered puff top regency poke bonnet. |
 |
| Girls linen pantaloons |
 |
| 1790's printed cotton open robe and polished cotton petticoat. I also made Erin's round gown. |
That's it I think.Somehow it seems to me like all i do is sew but i'm surpised at how few pieces I made for myself this year. I'm happy my business is going well and i have a steady flow of commissions but sometimes i do wish i had more time for sewing for myself. With that in mind i hope i get some more personal sewing done this year, but i sort of doubt it. i have grand plans for 2013 but that'
s for another blog post! Happy New Year!

Wow, a busy, busy year! It doesn't include everything you made for clients, either.
ReplyDeleteMy favorites? The sleeveless spencer, of course :) Plus that brown bonnet! I have to go back and see what you wrote about it. Finally, the sari-Edwardian evening dress. It worked a charm.
Very best,
Natalie
