Ok... so I was going to do a full post of what I made in 2014. But I realize that it wasn't much of what I originally planned.
Its actually quite dismal. I truly had Grand Plans for 2014.

Navy Blue Day Dress- I added some ruffles taffeta to the apron and Lace to the collar and wrist area and wore it at CoCo 14. |

Truly Victorian hodge podge of patterns &
self draping for Gala gown CoCo 14. |

I also got some smaller projects done; toddler chemise, toddler bloomers, toddler strapped petticoat, 18th century toddler dress, 18th century cap, ribbon garters, several chemises, an under petticoat, and an Victorian travel bag.
This year I hope to do a better job of keeping to my list and completing the Historical Sew Monthly Challenges. ( and take better pictures!)
We Shall See!
Well done young lady.

ReplyDeletehello! I am so glad to see your blog, I thought no people of colour did this :) :) it makes me want to sew stuff. I stopped looking at some reenacting/costume blogs because of racism and just .. you know how it can make a person feel. i cried (bawled really) for half an hour lol. it was really depressing. but you look so beautiful and elegant and your daughter is the cutest!! I wish you all the very best in everything!!
