Historical Sew Fortnightly: A Year In Review

Phew! It's been a busy year on the costuming front! This was the first year that I actually felt like a costumer rather than a seamstress who occasionally makes a costume. Participating in Historical Sew Fortnightly really helped keep me motivated and get stuff done for Costume College.

Challenge #1: Centennial-1913 combinations

Challenge #2: UFO-1930s style pjs

Challenge #18- Remake, Reuse, Refashion-Elizabethan Sleeves
