Now, on to the pictures!

I do not have everything pictured, but will try to find pictures of everything very soon. :)

This here is the early 1800s bib-front gown. It is made from an India block print cotton. This gown, I can honestly say, is entirely hand sewn.







Here is the 1860s cotton dress. I made this in the Spring, just in time for the ladies tea, where I portrayed the Iron Master's daughter.




Be prepared for some silly pictures now....

This is the linen 1940s shirtwaist. I used two vintage 1940s patterns and merged the two styles. This was finished in June, just in time for the WWII weekend. In the series of pictures below I was about to leave for a big band concert during the summer.  You can view picture of this dress in action here and here.







 


Here is the early 1800s gathered gown, spencer, and bonnet. I am standing at the Royal Crescent in Bath, England during the Jane Austen Festival. 



Here I am with Mrs. Need (whom I love dearly) before we left for our little shopping adventure in Bath!



Here is just the gown..






The 1780s gown is up next.... you can read about that here.



As soon as I can get a picture of Mum in her gown, I will post it! :)

Now, this post has come to an end. I do not see this many sewing projects in 2011, but I do have a few planned. Here is a glimpse of the projects - FINISH the quilt (pieced two years ago and all it needs yet is to be quilted), a 1790s coat for Dad, one or two 40s dresses, a summer dress, and a few others .... :)
