I have been in a sewing tizzy, and thank goodness for it since I have the Bridgerton Queens Ball coming up this weekend. I finally finished my open robe that I will be wearing over my gown, and finished tacking down the trim. Approximately 15 feet of trim that I had to tack down TWICE since it was so wide. But it is done and I am so glad!!! I absolutely cannot wait for the event.
Here is what it looks like:
In the future, I really need to do a better job at logging how many hours I put into each project, but for this one I will say that drafting the bodice pattern for the open gown and tacking down the trim was the most tedious. But now I have a base bodice pattern that fits perfectly and that I can use for future projects (one of which I am about to work on for a Regency picnic next month), so that’s a good thing!
The next project I have planned is another regency gown made out of a gorgeous lilac colored satin, and I am looking forward to that. So spring like!
Also, here’s a video of a blazer that I converted into a regency era spencer jacket:
