Future Sewing and CoCo Plans

Since the Victorian child outfit is my last thing I have to finish for myself by CoCo, I guess it's that time of year to think about what I want to sew in the rest of the year!

-A Tudor Kirtle (hopefully by the first weekend of Aug for a Ren Faire). Would periwinkle-ish wool be appropriate for this, by any chance?
-Mary Poppins Jolly Holiday (I'm fairly certain this will be this year's Halloween costume)
-Black wool w/ black fur trim bustle-era skating outfit
-Another winter bustle dress (both of these will be for the Little House party)
-Giant turquoise mid-Victorian ballgown of doom

And then the possible other projects:
-I feel like I should make something 1790s, because I haven't yet. This would also include transitional stays.
-I kind of want to try the Outlander stays pattern, especially since I need new stays anyway
-Possible secret Disney project?
-I kind of want a cotton 1830s dress, and now that I saw [livejournal.com profile] mandie_rw's bonnet, I need to make a giant bonnet, too.
-Maybe this year I'll actually do the Daniel Deronda riding habit I've been planning for the last few years? Or come back to the 1860s handsewn project?

I also have one commission lined up for Aug, which is Wendy, and a couple possible other commissions, like Coronation Anna, and Aurora. And hopefully more etsy sales!


As far as CoCo goes, do any of my LJ friends want to join me at Maggianos for the CoCo gala dinner again this year? I've got a list going, and I'll probably call to make our reservation soon. It's always been a fun time!

Great list and good luck with the commissions!

Gala alt dinner sounds good but I bought Gala ticket already, you all have fun!

Thanks! And have fun at the gala dinner - we'll see you afterwards for dancing. :)

Sounds like a lot of plans!

No Maggianos for me - I like making the most of gala night and eating there.

I'd love to join you for the Maggianos dinner. Last year's was so much fun!

Yay! I'll add you to the list!
