I
thought December would be quiet this year and I'd have a chance to catch up on
things, but it seems it's been anything but. The proximity of my plans for the
first quarter of next year has come crashing in on me, and I've found myself
flitting from one thing to the next in order to keep track of them all. So while
I've been doing lots, I don't really have anything in a polished condition to
show off at the moment. So instead I thought I'd
do a review of some of the projects I'm hoping to get to next year.
The Dreamstress has announced the challenges for the Historic Sew Monthly 2016, and I'm very tempted to push myself to complete something for every month this year. That involves more planning than I usually put myself to for my sewing schedule, but there's no harm in trying.
Of course there's still the Mistress of the Wardrobe
position to contend with. That and other SCA commitments will take up quite a bit of my time, but
there's no reason I can't combine some of these with the above challenges.
My personal SCA sewing is on a temporary hiatus at the moment. While I'm happy
with my Hedeby reconstruction (allowing for the few bits that still need to be
finished), I'm not happy with my current level of knowledge regarding my Italian
costume, so 2016 will mostly be a study year for that.
Beloved Coopershill is upon us again! I've organised a sewing weekend in January, and have purchased a couple of patterns to work on that weekend. I'm trying to be conservative in my plans so I can actually get a new outfit completed (the current outfit has already been worn two years running! I simply have to have something new, or I'll end up the scandal sheets! Though nothing will bring me to replacing my evening ensemble!). I would like to make a natural form gown at some point, and an 18th century ensemble, but those will have to wait for another time.
And finally, I've decided at last to dip my toes into the waters of cosplay. This one doesn't really have a set schedule; I've picked out my first costume, and I've started accumulating bits, but it'll be done and worn when it's good and ready and not a moment before.
