So 2023 was…let’s just say, a very interesting but taxing year for me. I had so many projects I wanted to do, but health issues and other things pretty much kept me in survival mode. But I am hoping for 2024 to be better! Especially in regards to my historical sewing and crafting! So here is what I want to do!
- Do a better job at documenting and recording my sewing process for my projects.
- Take high quality photos of my finished projects (as a professional photographer who can pull magic no matter what space I am in, I am embarrassed that I can’t photograph myself well! 😅)
- Complete at least two full 18th century outfits for my husband (one for daytime wear, and a fancier one for balls and dinners.)
- Complete at least two regency era outfits for my husband (again, for daytime/nightime).
- Make proper underpinnings for my daughter (who literally won’t stop growing! 😂)
- Make my daughter her pink regency gown to match mine.
- Make an 18th century gown for my daughter.
- Make an 18th century outfit and a regency outfit for my son (he keeps getting taller, but he still can fit into a size 4-6 kids at the waist, even thought he is 9)
- Make two wigs. 1 is inspired by Queen Charlotte’s In Bridgerton, and and another 18th century updo wig.
- Sew the Amalia jacket and a petticoat for a Galentines Day tea with my friends in February.
- Sew a zone front robe a la anglaise
- Sew a Robe à la française
- Make all the hats I want! Edwardian, Victorian, 18th century- I want it all!
- At least 1-2 daytime regency gowns
- Redo my purple velvet open robe
- Sew a Victorian evening/ball gown to wear to a fancy dress dinner that my friend is hosting
- Get over my fear of my serger and learn how to use it 😅
- Possibly take on some commissions
I find that making an inspiration board for a project helps immensely, I’ve done two so far:
