My personal life should not require this much documentation but what is a girl to do? The costumers guild open house meeting was this weekend, and I now know what my costume event schedule is for the next 6 months, and boy have I ever got some sewing to do! That's the only real problem with doing WW, none of my costumes fit anymore.
Anyway, the sewing-related event calender is as follows-
Feb. 26 - GBACG goes to the Gaskell. Will wear the Madame X dress. Need to make a new corset and re-set the waistband of the skirt.
March 5 - Rubicon dinner. Black tie affair, will make a cheongsam from some lovely silk from the stash.
April 9 - Belmont Stakes event. Will make a 1911 dress I started planning 3 years ago. have all the fabrics, and 90% of the trim. Just need something to make a belt thing and a new corset.
June 4 - Visit to Pemberly. Will be doing an 1810 or so muslin dress and spencer to go with a hat I got at Costume College several years ago. I have everything for this dress, but need a corset.
Aug. 20 -Peacock tails. Will be making a late bustle dress out of some scary purple and green checked stuff that hurts the eyes (perfect for a late bustle). Actual event attendance is tentative, if I'm in school back east I may not make it.
Sept. 11 - Gatsby. Again with the law school problem. Will probably wear the dress from last year.
October - LOTR dinner. Might be worth coming back for the weekend for. Will make one of Eowyn's dresses I think.
November - Dickens. Must finish mourning dress and make a new day dress if I am able to do the event.
So far, everything can be done using stash fabric, except for the mourning dress. Probably I will have to get some coutil or other corset fabric, since I have at least 3 corsets to make, but that's not a big deal (or unexpected really). Of course, this also isn't taking into account SASS dresses, Ren Faire dresses, or any other client work...I'm trying not to think about that right now. I want dresses for me this year, the client work is going to have to get fit in around my own projects.
