I feel like I was constantly sewing something this year but have very little to show for it. In truth, I think I spent many nights after work just being lazy, as I'm finding it harder to come home after sewing all day to...sewing all night. And as I mentioned in a previous post, my wrist/hand is still causing me problems even after the surgery. I'm planning to see my doctor in the new year but I'm not hopeful.
In addition to sewing at work and sewing at home for myself, I took commissions for two other museums, which I didn't get pictures of before sending them off. But my work is now on display at Mount Vernon and the New York Historical Society.
Another issue is that there are quite a few garments that I made this year but haven't gotten pictures of, or they're wearable but not "finished" and thus not photographed. But hopefully I can start taking care of that in the new year, at least for my 1860s ball gown and 1616 gown.

- Half Mourning Dress remake
- 1780s Dutch print gown
- 1616 silk damask gown--needs pictures
- 1860s black satin ball gown--needs a bit of work... adjust waistband of skirt, maybe make a new bertha, redo the piping along the waistline--and then pictures!
- Fur-trimmed paletot--need to finish trim then take pictures
- 1860s tucked petticoat--needs pictures
- 1860s cage crinoline--needs pictures
- Late 18th century shift
- Early 17th century wool gown
- 1842 green wool dress--need to do the bodice trim then take pictures, but here's a sneak peak!
It's probably worth noting too that I organized and ran a conference at work and got a raise and promotion!
Even thought I didn't sew a lot, I went to many wonderful events (like Costume College!) and had a great time with friends regardless of if I was wearing an "old" dress. Next year promises to have some great events as well. I haven't quite figured out what my 2017 sewing goals are, but there will be a blog post when I do!

Hi, I love your Dutch print Italian gown. I am planning an Italian gown for this year. Can you recommend a resource for HA print fabric? I'd prefer cotton. Where did you get yours? Thank you!

Thank you sir for your genuine spells. This is really incredible, and I have never experienced anything like this in my life. Before I met Dr. Alaska, I have tried every possible means that I could to get my husband back,but nothing was working out for me,and that my husband had developed a lot of hatred for me.. I thought there was no hope of reuniting with my ex husband. But when I read good reviews about Dr Alaska , I decided to give it a try and I contacted him via WhatsApp and I did everything he instructed me to do, he told me I am going to see the results in 48 hours. Shockingly my husband called me 2 days after I finished what Dr Alaska told me to do . We are more content now than ever. Everything looks perfect and so natural!. Thank you so much for your authentic and indisputable spells. Thanks Sir for your help, you are indeed a Godsend to my life. If you need help in your marriage or broken relationship. Contact Dr Alaska right now.

How my best friend lied against me because she wants my husband to herself. Please be careful about some persons you call your friend. I got married to my sweet high school boyfriend. We were living in peace and enjoying our life. We have two kids together. Everything was going well for us. My husband is not always around because he works in another city. So one day my husband came back home and started acting funny. His behavior changed toward me and the kids. I was trying to know what's happening. He never gave me attention or listened. Some days later my husband asked me to take myself out of the house saying he is not interested in our marriage anymore. I tried to talk to him so he could tell me where I went wrong but all was in vain. his behavior and character toward us went out of control. I had no other choice than to leave the house with the kids. This made my heart bleed anytime I think about it because this is a man I loved with all my heart. I cried and my mind got worried for a good five months. My cousin who had a similar issue like mine told me to contact DR WALE telling me that DR WALE will save my marriage. When I contacted him, I told him how everything happened. I paid for all materials needed to get the job done. DR WALE found out that it was my best friend that was behind everything that is going on in my marriage. He said it was my friend that told my husband negative things DR WALE went forward to say they were both having an affair together. So DR WALE did what he knows how to do best telling me my husband will come begging. DR told me that my best friend did an evil spell so my husband turned his back on us. But all thanks to DR WALE my husband came begging me for forgiveness saying he doesn't know what came over him. because DR WALE has told me everything that happened it was easy to forgive him. We're living together as one big family now. If you want back your Ex-partner DR WALE is the right man to contact. His WhatsApp/Telegram: +2347054019402 OR Email: drwalespellhome@gmail.com
