New Project....

Okay, so I've been wanting to make a Civil War Era gown and have completed the undergarments that would be required to wear such a garment. However, a new project has come across my sights. Our friends, Brenna & Stacey, are two very knowledgable people about early English Royalty & Art respectively. So, I have decided to begin working on a pair of outfits for Stacey and I. We will hopefully be able to go as two of the wives of Henry the VIII for our Halloween 2010 plans; more specifically Anne Boleyn and another one of his wives. (Perhaps Jane Seymour - and no I don't mean the actress.) Here are the patterns that I plan to utilize in making our outfits. It will require a bit time, without a doubt, but I know I'm up to the challenge. I'm planning on having them completed by the beginning of October - no exact date. Will know more once I obtain the materials needed to complete the outfits. The Gown portion is Simplicity 2589 and the Undergarments is Simplicity 2621. I can't wait to get started! :D

Okay, so remember how I mentioned that I had taken 2 years to complete a set of Civil War Era Undergarments? Actually, I should say that it took me 2 years to compile the items needed to make them; construction time was only about 3 months. Well, here is a picture of all of my hard work! (Almost, you can't see the bloomers under the skirt, but nonetheless it's all my hard work come together! Please feel free to leave comments!

My Tudor gown ensemble that I posted I was going to be working on for this years Halloween has unfortunately gone to the waistside...for now. I have been looking for the needed notions and running into snags, either financially or other time commitments. Hopefully, these things will change by years end! On the other hand, I have decided that I will make a somewhat easier-themed Halloween ensemble for this year: Bonnie Parker. I have made this costume with the exception of the collar & tie. Once I get a photo of me in the outfit come this October 31, I will post it as soon as possible. See my review on PatternReview.com as well.

New Year, New Me

 I cannot believe that I forgot that I have a BLOG!!! SO much has changed in the YEARS since my last entry! I've gotten divorced I've left bedside nursing and now teach (since 2013) I've costumed a couple high school theatre productions (Mary Poppins was my FAVORITE!). I bought my first house ON MY OWN! My best friend from HS passed away Had a heart attack I'm almost finished with my Associate's of Arts degree, with an emphasis on costume (my mom keeps telling me I should go for a higher degree - but how many degrees does a person need?!) There are multitudes of other things that I could continue on about, but I'm sure that you're not here for that. As the end of 2021 looms around the corner, I am finding myself asking: "Why aren't you happier than you were when you last made an entry to this blog?" The only answer I have been able to come up with is that I've been doing everything for everyone else and have neglected the person that really
