Iām really late posting this, but here are (most) of the things I made in 2016! I completed more than 17 costumes and 55 pieces.Ā
It was a pretty rough year creatively. I realized how much I depend on inspiration, and how lost I am without that. Diligence is definitely something I need to work more on in 2017.Ā
Even though my mood wasnāt the best, Iām really pleased with the costumes I made this year. The plaid suit is my favorite thing Iāve ever made, and Iām pretty proud of the pink ball gown and cycling ensemble.Ā
I think my construction and understanding of historical garments has continued to improve, which Iām happy about. I also gained a new appreciation for fashion from the later 1800s, and feel a lot more open minded about other periods that I wasnāt interested in before.
Iād like to push myself more in 2017 and try styles Iām not as familiar with, I think it would be good for me. I did a bit of that last year, but not as much as I would have liked.
I have other goals too, brief descriptions of each project, and construction notes about (most) of these that can be found in myĀ āLook back at 2016ā³ blog post.Ā
As per usual, Iād love to know which ones are your favorite!
Oooh I adore that mauve one with the crown-tiara-hat thing.
