Because everyone else is doing it...

mandie_rwCostumes I've Made in 2009. (Even though, of course, now it's past midnight, so it's technically 2010. Whatever.)
Probably not in exact order, mostly because I don't remember and it's too much trouble to look up right now!
Made a bunch of everyday dresses and skirts (everyday being a relative term -- but really, I do wear these kinds of dresses on an everyday basis!
Made my friend a pair of 18thc stays
Pet en l'air and petticoat --for no good reason, as it never actually got worn anywhere. Also, the back hem of the pet en l'air is totally not even. Ooops. Fail. I do like the fichu, though.
Peach striped polonaise of Hate. I did wear it once, to Fort Mifflin, and promptly developed such unreasonable wrath towards it that I've given it away on the condition I never ever see it again.
Madrigal dress for my mommy. Sleeve fiasco, in which sleeves misbehaved and were murdered.
Black velveteen Tudor gown for the Ren faire. I am pleased with this one!
1869 Foy corset, and chemise and drawers to go with. Also a bustle form Corsets & Crinolines. (Were the drawers this year? Oh, who cares. I'll say they were.)
And a hat, to go with my as-yet non-existent striped 1870ish dress
Okay, so that's not too bad. Not nearly as impressive as some people on my friends-list, but I tend to feel at the end of the year like I've sewn, like ONE costume, and I have to prove to myself that it's been more than that!
I've got about a billion things I'm scheming about sewing in 2010, of course...I'll make a Totally Unreasonable List that I will proceed to completely disregard as soon as I make it. So...might as well make that list right now, huh?
Things I want To Sew in the New Year But Probably Won't
- 1870ish red and white striped walking dress
- 1844 C&C corset and corded petticoat
- red 1840s day dress
- 1911 C&C corset
- late 16thc jacket and petticoat, coif
- 1971 Gernreich swimsuit from KCI book (No...not the topless one.)
- bridesmaid dress --which I actually NEED to sew!
- Figure out what the heck to do with all the fabric.com silk taffeta I bought
- patchwork quilt for A's wedding gift -- aka. the Damn Quilt. I know I said I was going to chuck it all, but...I dunno, I like punishment. Also actually need to sew this.
