2010 Costume Year in Review!

Every new year I like to do the annual round-up of what I wanted to do costume-wise during the previous year compared to what I actually accomplished and then list what I intend to make during the coming year.
At the beginning of last year my plan-making was crippled by a severe lack of money, so my to-do list was restricted to making things solely out of fabric I already had. However, my plans included:
-Dark cotton print regency 'work' dress (yes!)
-Cotton voile long sleeved regency dress (nope)
-Blue silk 1812 evening gown (nope)
In 2010 I actually made:
1860s Windowpane check silk day dress

1860s Bonnet

1860s Apron

Dark cotton print regency dress and chemisette

Crocheted 1860s Sontag

1860s Asymmetrical wool dress

Even though I strayed more into the Civil War instead of the Regency period, I managed to get through the whole year ONLY sewing from my stash or using fabric which was gifted to me! Yay for sticking to resolutions!
And of course this doesn't include the garments I made over the summer at VSF, or all the ba-jillions of alterations and repairs that I've done at CW so far.
As for next (this) year? Well, 2011 will hopefully include:
- finished prezzy for Tyler
- 18th cen. mitts
- 1770's pet en l'air and coordinating petticoat
- Voile long-sleeved regency
- 1812 evening dress
- more 18th cen stuff because I seriously need more clothes!
- secret project for Greenfield Village
We'll see what happens though... plans always end up changing!
