No New Fabric Challenge - July Recap

7 months down, only 5 to go!

July was kind of... meh, as far as costuming goes.  I didn't do much, yet I somehow still have a backlog of posts waiting to be written!  I shall work on those soon.

HSF Challenge #1 - Finally Complete!

Way back in January when I first planned out my year of costuming goals, I decided to make an 1813-era apron-front gown for the first challenge of the Historical Sew Fortnightly.  I got it halfway done!  Then it lay abandoned for nearly five months...


I finally finished it in time for the Victory Ball on June 22.

No New Fabric Challenge - June Recap

Well, I'm halfway done with my No New Fabric Challenge.


June was a good month for both sewing and events.  I finished one UFO and attended a ball and a church service in Regency dress, as well as War of 1812 Bicentennial events at Fort Norfolk.
