2018 Sewing In Review
I feel like I made almost nothing this year. I honestly think I did too much theatre for one year, and the past few months, I've just felt very worn out. That, combined with working all year (instead of being unemployed for 8 months like I was last year) means very little sewing actually got done.
But this is what I did actually manage to do:
I completed the green wool bustle gown. Most of this was done in 2016, but I think I did the neckline dickey area and the hem in 2017. I also made an adjustable length quilted petticoat that I used for this dress and my skating dress, and decorated the hat. And apparently I never took any pictures of the quilted petticoat.
Fur-trimmed skating dress + trimming an old vintage hat
Finished my crewel-work 18th c pocket
Designer Disney Snow White
1860s corset
1860s Giant Turquoise Ballgown, which also included making royal orders and a headpiece. I made this in two parts, completing the base dress by the beginning of April, and then making the train and trimming it in the lead-up to Costume College.
Belle-inspired jumper dress
Regency Laughing Moon Pattern-test Pelisse
Elizabeth Swann
Rose's Deck Dress from Titanic
Two Halloween skirts
Velvet Regency spencer
Reversible Disney tote bag, Thumper, Dumbo, Dr. Who Scarf
Plus a commission for altering a Zouave jacket and making another Victorian jacket, and 14 little girls playdresses and 2 skirts for etsy orders.
This post has made me realize that I haven't put anything from this year on my website, and I never did a CoCo wrap-up post for Friday through Sunday, either, or completed outfit posts for Elizabeth Swann or the Turquoise Ballgown. Whoops. I should probably do those!
