Sewing plans
With the costume college wrap up post under my belt, and my sewing spaces slowly being cleared, the next step is planning for the upcoming year. I wasn't fibbing in anyway when I said my costuming year revolves around Costume College. Yes I have other events but even if I make a costume for them, that costume will probably be worn at CoCo so its still CoCo planning. :)
First up for me is Salt Lake Comic Con. I was hoping to have a Fem Doctor but by the time the Spoonflower fabric gets here I won't be able to finish the costume. Instead I am hoping to make the Victorian Explorer more steamy.My hope is to achieve this with the right accessories. Nothing too cliche like gluing on a bunch of gears but hopefully I can come up with something cool. I'll also be re-wearing Capt America. Thankfully that one is already done. I might make a couple bracelets to match the choker but those are quick and easy projects.
My hand sewing project will be finishing the beading on my Robe de Style. I would like to enter it into the Embellishment challenge on the Shear Madness costume site which ends in October.
My next Con is Comikaze which happens around Halloween. Again it would be cool to complete the Fem Doctor but I really want to start the next needed project first.
Which is Renaissance Faire garb. My poor husband's costumes always get pushed aside for mine and I need to remedy this. We are going to the Nottingham Festival in November which is a perfect time to have his Renaissance Batman costume done. I would love to have my Ren Wench Robin to go with it but I know this next semester is going to be intense so I won't push my luck. My goal for me is to finish my Kirtle and waistcoat.
After that I don't have anything planned until WonderCon and Southern California Ren faire in April. Both of these I plan to wear a Kings Landing type Game of Thrones dress. Coincidentally, my dress will have a lot of similarities to Sansa's Dragonfly dress. I'm not sure how it happened since I hadn't watch far enough into the seasons when I started planning it to base my dress off of it. Maybe I saw a screen shot and my subconscious went from there. My thought process was I love dragonflies. I wanted the dragonflies to be stumpwork in blues, greens, and dark purples, so I thought a good base for the gown would be a lilac color. My plan also evolved to include embroidery flowers/leaves/vines in greens and purples so my fabric color wasn't going to budge.. Then I saw this picture and wondered what my subconscious was up to.

koshka_the_cat and I are planning on wearing these dresses to the Ren faire. We don't have a set date yet. Ideally it would be on Time Traveler's weekend. But we have to wait and see when that is. We would like to try and go earlier in the season in hopes that it is a cooler day. If you have a Game of Thrones dress or plan on making one and want to join us, we'd love for you to join us!
Once I finish the Game of Throne dress it will be only Costume College sewing. My goal is to finish all of the above early so I can get a start on whats below sooner rather than later. If I don't I know I won't have time in the remaining 3 months before Costume College to finish it all. I plan to work on my 1910s suit, the top middle one.
a bicycling outfit, which will be a combination of these two:
I am curious if anyone would like to join me in making a Fancy dress costume? I think it would be a great group project. The fun with Fancy dress is it was used in several eras so you wouldn't be limited to an era you don't particularly like. You can also choose your own theme for your dress which opens it up even further. I plan to do a Victorian Fancy dress with a Captain America theme. I had mentioned it before, I have been planning it for a couple years now and I have most if not all of the fabric, so I am determined to do it this year. I just think it would be fun to do it with others. If no one joins me it will be my Gala gown. If others want to play I am open to doing it whenever.
Lastly if there is time I want to make a new pair of 30s beach pajamas, a set of bloomers and/or tap pants to go under ALL THE THINGS and a dressing gown/banyan for the Princess Party and Sunday Undies.
Whew!!! that's an intimidating list but I am still on the Costume College inspiration high so YAY!!!! bring it!
