You have one guess which costume this post entails =P

Okay. So I haven't actually done any sewing since I last posted. But I did clean up the sewing area (to some extent =P) and the table is finally see-able. Sometime I will have to post detail pics of the table--- it is rather wacky in itself, though you can see only some of the detail in the pic... see the colored markings? Hehe

Actually, when I layed (is that the correct verb usage?) everything out, I was surprised that I had done so much over the past couple of months! For halloween this year I have made---

-a victorian-inspired skirt (except hem)

-a victorian-inspired corset

-a victorian-inspired pair of drawers

-a short chemise

-a halloween wig (well, styled it)

-a pair of giant bat wings

-a spiderwebby lace apron (50s style? That is a wild guess!)

-most of a shorter skirt

---and this doesn't include the 18th century things or the modern stuff!

Here's roughly what I have left in the ways of fabric/trim. The apron pieces are not pictured, though.

And for fun, I had to have the boots in a pic with the hat... It made me think Marcia Overstrand from the Septimus Heap series by Angie Sage! Yes, I read them. Yes, I am 'classified' too old to do so, but whatever! ...Though Marcia wears purple python heeled boots, not black... and she doesn't have a witch's hat! And I've noticed ---small books rambling here--- that most amazing authors are British... From Jane Austen to C.S. Lewis to Charles Williams to J.K. Rowling to Angie Sage, they're all British. And I'm not. But I want to be amazing! Well, there are some American ones too... namely Jean Birdsall and Heather Vogel Frederick and and Louisa May Alcott... And they all live or lived on the east coast. The two currently living live in Massachusetts. And I live on the west coast. Reeeeeeaaaaaly west coast. =P Oh well (!)

At least it seems that lots of fabulous seamstresses live in CA! Or so I've noticed.

=D
