Sewing plans for 2009

[madamemodiste]

In 2009, I'd really like to make...

bustle gown to go with new beaded capelet

Regency open robe

Regency gown to go under half robe

Titanic Boarding Suit

recover at least one of my antique parasol frames

Another Natural Form era gown

TV bustle coat

New Steampunk ensemble for 2009 saloncon. Perhaps Edwardian with motoring jacket and goggles. Any ideas for me?

Finally make new Elizabethan from that green silk

Bustle skirt and over skirt from a million yards of black tulle

finish black tiered lace trumpet skirt

perhaps take a stab at making a white 18th c corset to go under Chemise gown. I didn't love the half stays under it last year.

and I need to come up with something for Convergence on the Queen Mary. I might buy a '20's dress instead of making one. But, I have to book a room first!!

Would you point me in the way of a pic of a Regency half robe? I've got two or three Regency patterns and I'm just curious....And your to-do list sounds like fun. Once I'm through with finals this week, I'm going to become a sewing madwoman. I want to finish my husband's frock coat and pants so that he has a complete Victorian outfit, make three baby blankets, five onsies for a friend who is due on the 31st of December, then I'll start on a new outfit for me. I have materials for two to three maybe four Regency outfits, plus a Civil War ball gown and then "matching" outfits for him ie., Regency outfit and another Victorian/Civil War outfit. Then finally, I need to decide what I want to do for a steampunk outfit for the two of us....and I'd really like to do something other than brown or black. I was thinking maybe a deep pine green.....

You just made me realize I used the wrong term! I meant to write "open robe", not "half robe". But I can point to pics of both!

Good luck with all of your projects! Both of us are itching to get back to the sewing machine :)

Sigh, I'd be happy to finish about a 10th of your project list!

There you go making me feel inadequate again!
