A very happy new year to you all!!!
It has been a while since I wrote the last time and now it is high time to summarize 2014 and see, what I have made in one year.
I think I have never sewn as much, as I did in 2014!
The Historical Sew Fortnightly encouraged me to learn new stuff (like embroidery, millinery and staymaking), venture into periods I didn't particularly like or have sewn in before (like 18th Century - which I now like very much and will hopefully dig deeper into this year), make something just to make something to fit into a HSF challenge (like the pink dress) and do crazy stuff like handsewing (why on earth would I do that, when there is a perfect sewing machine just a metre away???)
Even though I havn't finished all challenges I am quite pleased with my learnings and results.
Here they are from inside out:
 |
| A matching Pocket |
 |
| Improvers and Pads |
 |
| A basic quilted Petticoat |
 |
| Another basic Petticoat |
 |
| 18th Century Cap |
 |
| A Discgolf Bag as Christmas present for my sister (the embroidery glows in the dark!) |
I also created a few new UFOs:
 |
| A 60s Dress with the bow only pinned and not sewn yet |
 |
| A 60 Dress waiting to get a facing |
 |
| A single Glove, waiting to get a partner |
 |
| Not really an UFO, since I havn't even started on the pattern |
 |
| An unfinished 18th Century Cap |
 |
| A big hat waiting for the tulle decoration to be fixed for real |
 |
| An early victorian Bonnet, still uncovered |
 |
| 1840s Bonnet waiting for some trimming |
As said: I have never sewn that much in a year before. We'll see what the new one brings!
Happy sewing!!!
Wow! You did get loads done. I've been loving the HSF too. :)
AntwortenLöschenThank you! I am so happy we're having the HSM this year!
LöschenSo many amazing projects in only one year. I love the undergarments you made, I would be happy if I managed to sew only one corset like any of these in a year.And your hat creations are so beautiful, I especially like the Belle Epoque ones.
AntwortenLöschenCan't wait to see what you come up with this year :-)
