CADD after CoCo is crazy

llyrafantasyfaeSO I am getting it out of my system and listing everything I want to make in the next year. Knowing I won't come anywhere near finishing any of them.... well no... I do have plans on finishing some. Details below.
A 1910s suit. Again I still have the pattern and fabric, and undergarments and shoes. WHY HAVE I NOT MADE IT YET?!?!?! I think I have been holding out on this one because I don't want to have to size it up. Maybe if I lose weight this year it'll actually happen this summer when schools out. The corset was made 30ish lbs ago so it fits but not as good as it should so I really do need to try and lose a bit first.
A silver embroidered Regency gown: I know I am being heavily influenced bykoshka_the_cat with her wonderful hand done detail on her most recent gowns. But there is some logic in this choice also. I love this shape. Later Regency makes me feel like a sausage. But I also love the bodice detail. It reminds me of the painted gown jenthompson did. I don't want the all over embroidery that this one has I want it around the hems and on the bodice. I know lots of hand embroidery but I'm complaining about not having time. I have small spurts of time. That would be perfect for getting a bit of a motif done at day vs sitting down and actually sewing things and figuring things out. I quickly get overwhelmed and my brain turns off. If I can talk the hubby into letting me get the supplies I will be starting this one as soon as possible. I want it for the Jane Austen Evening. It may not be a specific royals dress but with silver embroidery I can pretend it is.
Khalessi's dress: If I can find the fabric for a decent price I hope to start this one in January. It'll be my after Jane Austen project. Again a project that I can do in spurts when I have time. And I don't think the actual gown and construction will be overly hard. It'd be awesome to have it done by WonderCon in March but I won't push it. I'll be happy if it is done by SDCC (if we go) or Costume College. And bonus, She's royalty! When did dupioni get so expensive? I keep finding it for $18.00+ I found a close up pic that shows a very lightly slubbed material. If anyone knows of a good deal on fabric happening let me know.
Dark Rey: I am still going to do this one. I just don't know if it is going to be this year. I still need fabric and two of the above have taken away my fabric budget for the year an prod realistically probably all my time too. But its on my CADD list just the same.
NoFlutter's Wonder Woman: Making the bracers now. I potentially have poly fabrics for it and can complete it. If I find myself with extra time, I think this one is going to be high on my list to do. Seriously doubt there will be any way I get it done before WonderCon. But maybe SDCC. Bonus: She's royalty.
What was suppose to be my Gala gown for this year: I have the fabrics... I have shoes... I have new jewelry from Taylor. WOOOOOO!!!! Still a fairly easy project. Might be perfect for a day wear next year.
Are there any group projects in the works?????
