It feels somewhat removed from my usual style, but in a good way.
I definitely have plans for more antique silhouettes in my future sewing. Then again, the list of queued projects continues to grow, so who knows when I will actually get around to it. And the fact that it might require fabric shopping means that I will probably have to wait (I'm really trying not to buy new fabric if I can help it since I have so much of it on hand).
I think that the embroidery placement was quite successful, so that's good.
And I do love a good flounce . . . or two, or four . . .
The only issue is getting outerwear over the extra fluffy bits.
There are a few more of the "historical" patterns that the Big 4 produced over the last 20 or so years that I have stashed away, so I may have to pull those out and see where they take me.
Because this was a fun project!
I believe that I have given new purpose to my 1980s tablecloth and napkin set, and I hope that whoever once used these linens would be pleased that they are getting a new lease on life.
This may just get me back to my apparel sewing roots, since historical costume is what initially made me want to start using a sewing machine!
