There are two major projects that I want to tackle in 2023. Firstly, I want to learn a new textiles based skill.
Secondly, as I find that I'm getting more interested in historical costume - I am giving myself a project that shall hereto be known as 'The Big Edwardian Outfit' which I plan to make to fit me so that I can wear it out and about (with others in costume, not at Tesco).
So since the Edwardians love lace, I want to make lace making the new skill of 2023. I recently found out that the Lace Guild is local to me, so I have access to lots of expertise and inspiration. The quality of hand made lace is phenomenal and I look forward to learning more about it as I go.
I talked myself out of tackling shoe-making this year!
So those are the two main things, textile-wise. I will still work on my dolls house and I still have a couple of sewing projects that I want to get finished that were left over from last year as I don't want to be drowning in WIP's. One of those being my handsewn regency stays (which are almost done!). I also want to make a new shirtdress, which I already have a nice viscose twill for.
And I promised myself I would spin more this year as last year was pretty sparse.
The 2023 'DEFINITELY MAKING' list currently looks like -
- Edwardian Corset
- Regency stays (Only need to bind them now, almost done)
- Cotton Petticoat, ideally two of them
- Corset Cover
- Edwardian day dress (TBC) (I expect this to be the major project this year, but I'm completely undecided on what to actually make)
- Viscose twill shirtdress (modern)
- Edwardian toque hat
Once the Regency stays are done, my major handsewn project is all over which will give me some time to work on lace making.
The 2023 'I WANT TO MAKE (but i'll struggle to find the time to)' list is -
- A wrap style blouse, have pattern but no fabric (buy fabric)
- A 1940's/50's giant, floor-length quilted house coat because being cold sucks.
