I need new clothes.
Over the last couple of years, I’ve sold off or otherwise gotten rid of everything I had that didn’t fit my body, didn’t fit my persona, or didn’t make me happy. Currently, I have two dresses and a Moorish outfit that I like.
And there are Things Happening that will require me to have a better wardrobe than that.
So here are my plans for winter sewing:
Black lightweight wool saya with gray and purple band trim
Pink cotton sateen saya
Brown velvet paneled gown
Cream and black pinstripe brial
Several pairs of sleeves
At least one new white linen camisa
More caps
A couple of new braid cases
Silk brocade gonete
Tucked skirt
Teal blue waist belt
New green wool Laurel coat with flannel lining
To do all this, I need to place a Wawak order soon - I need more bobbins and sewing machine needles - and I also need to order silk ribbon for sleeve points. I want to try to get the pink saya and brown velvet gown done for our Kingdom Twelfth Night in January and maybe the black with colored band trim for Birka Market Faire (also in January).
I also need to finish unpacking and organizing my sewing room.
Yep.
Totally reasonable.
