newmoonstarBeen reading lots more Wimsey novels, and therefore, not sewing. I have, however, done some accessorizing with my twenties scarves and cloche hats and jewelry since I cut my hair, and found out I need to make a cream colored twenties evening dress, and a green twenties lounging frock. (All this of course, was brought on by the aforementioned Wimsey novels, since they're set in the twenties!)
I really should watch or read something Victorian instead, to get me in the mood to make an 1880's ball gown. Simplicity has a nice 1880's ball gown pattern, and I was probably going to make that up for their costume contest, as it's the only excuse I'll probably ever have to make it up! And I've been saving my black and red floral brocade for it all these years! I wish the rules didn't require you to use a current Simplicity pattern though, because I found my pink and black striped fabric, and if I made up the 1914 Ascot dress in that, it could SO win. ;-D
