Regency Ball (the dances)

Oh, it was lovely!  So many beautiful dances (and dancers, of course!)  I took the two below pictures.  Probably the only two I will specify because the camera got passed around so many times, and there were two cameras.  But I knew I took these XD

Starting Out :)

The four of us girls, dancing together. At least for now, lol.  we move so swiftly in dances!

Who knew dancing could be so much work?!

Calleigh teaching (or trying to teach) me how to waltz ^_^

Fun Photoshopping!

I Photoshopped my cape picture here :)  Nothing too special or difficult, but I like it :P

Cape Pictures!

I now have pictures of my finished cape!  Yeah!!!  This afternoon/evening mom and I went outside tot take these pictures.  There are several different views here.  For our first time trying to take pictures of something like this, I thought we did a pretty good job! :D  Any thoughts?  Once I *cough* earn some more money, I intend to make another one, perhaps a bit more carefully, and try to sell it on ebay or some other such site.  Any of my nonexistent viewers interested in buying a cape/cloak?  Any of my friends need a Christmas present for next year XD

My Cape Is Done!

I'm so excited!  Of course, I need a frog thing, and it's long, but it's still a really really cool cape.  Pictures to follow.  I'm not quite sure how to take them myself, you see.   But I want them in this pretty snow...

One more!

I just "stole" this picture off mom's blog.  Sparkles is very helpful when it comes to sewing XD  Also, you can now see just how much fabric is there.  And that is only one of the colors!  AND it keeps going outside of the photo!

Current Sewing Project

As has been before noticed, I have a significant amount of projects that I undertake.  Perhaps too many, but I enjoy them all nonetheless.  My current one is (dun dun dun) a cape!  This shows, well, hardly any of the cape (believe me: the fabric goes on and on...and on.)  And actually, I didn't edit this picture at all (*gasp*) It does show a bit of my sewing machine though :)  I am quite looking forward to modeling my cape when it is done!

Regency Dress Finished!

Although my nonexistent readers will doubtful notice any differences since the last post, my regency gown is now finished!  The hem is done, buttons sewn, hooks and eyes in place, hole fixed, and satin steamed.  And it even fits pretty well too! (lol.)  It is currently hanging on my closet door.  My closet will wrinkle it, and my clothes rack is not tall enough to hang my longer dresses on. *sigh*  Perhaps more pictures will follow in the later months when I actually am able to attend the ball that this dress was made for!

Jane Austen Bonnets

Yesterday we had yet another meeting with The Austen Sisters. We decorated bonnets or a hat, and it was quite enjoyable! Mama took some pictures, and though they will more than likely be posted on the Conversations with Jane blog, I wanted to post them here too :)

Elizabeth and I; supposedly doing something intelligent and studious.

Victoria, Elizabeth, and I decorating (or messing around.)

As you can see, some of us are...easily distracted. And quite easily amused, I daresay.

I have been working on my bonnet more today, and am actually pleased with how it is beginning to turn out! I shall have a picture when it is done :)

Also, note my music skirt in the above pictures! I made it myself, and am quite pleased that all the staff lined up! I love music notes!

Regency Gown.

So recently I have been making a Regency gown in co-op. It is quite fun to say I am making my own dress. However, it is even more fun to say I am making my

own gown. The best part? I am making my gown for a ball. Yes, a ball. It sounds so elegan

t and amazing! So, as I have much of it done, I wanted to post three picture taken of me some time last co-op. Glimpses of the messy sewing room (cleaned after we are done so the church shall not be stepping on pins or needles) are in the background.

Yes, it makes me look even shorter :p

Yes, I am standing on the table. It needs hemmed, and this proved to be the easiest way to get the job done :)

Another pictures :) I think the photographer was standing on the table this time...or at least a chair.
