Better Late Than Never
Jan. 2nd, 2013 03:06 pmSo I'm a bit late on the 2012 sewing recap, as well as on posting to Livejournal in general, but I've been crazy busy these last two months and haven't been doing anything other than schoolwork, work, and holiday festivities. Now that everything has slowed down, I can get back to being productive on sewing and updating here.
The recap for 2012 sewing:
January - 1912 corset
- 1912 petticoat
February - emerald shirt
March - hunter green shirt
April - Hollywood/Veronica Lake dress
May - jeans
- cardigan embellishment
June - baby blanket (knitting)
- 1908 corset
At this point, I stopped keeping track of which months things were done in.
Summer & Fall - 1960s cotton print dress
- Snow White costume (pictures will eventually appear at some point. Hopefully before next Halloween.)
- fox Robin Hood costume: pants w/ tail, shirt, and hat
- Little Mermaid tail
- Aladdin costume: pants, vest, sash
- Esmeralda costume: skirt, overskirt, and girdle/belt
Some things that I did last year that I fixed or put the finishing touches on this year:
- tucked petticoat was re-hemmed
- 1840 corset: grommets were set
- 1940 knickers: snaps were added
Projects that were started but not finished (a list that actually isn't too long):
- corded petticoat
- sweater (knitting)
Overall, I think I was pretty productive for most of the year. I burned out a bit with all the Halloween sewing and never got back on track because of all the busy-ness that followed soon after. But I think I'll be able to get a lot done in 2013 and have some good plans for that. I really enjoy having things in my wardrobe that I can wear every day and so some pants and a blouse are on the list, as well as a couple more cotton print dresses made from some older, awesome prints that I found in my mom's sewing room (Power Rangers and Peanuts!). I want to finish off my unfinished projects that I started this year, as well as the plum jacket and plum stays that I started the year before and never finished. And hopefully, finally, get one real historical outfit made. That would be awesome.
