My dress form

Hey all,

It has been a busy month.  I don't know where all of the time has gone.  I still have not completed a single item on my list.  I have all of them started, but none finished.  I have had a great time out at Old Cowtown with the various visitors and such.  We had a volunteer appreciation meeting and I was awarded with the Newest volunteer with the most hours award.  I was so surprised because I have only been doing this from the last of Sept and we close for the winter in early Nov.   


Okay so the first pic of me that you see I don't want it to be horrid so this is me in some of my garb. 





I did get my duct tape dress form finished.  It was fun to do I look awful in the pictures, but here they are.  LOL



Okay I know that I am a big dork....

Now I have to get in gear to finish all of these.....

1.  Bustle dress for a friend.
2.  Corset
3.  Corded petticoat
4.  Fancy petticoat
5.  Corset
6.  Chemises
7.  Drawers, maybe?
8.  Civil war dress.  Started to cut it out the other day , but only had the bottom part of the dress.  The company will be sending me the rest of pattern I hope will be here by tomorrow.

All of these I would like to have finished by April 16th.

I know crazy. 

The only one that I need finish is the dress so I will be fine, I hope.


Here is the dress that I am making for our first official open day at the museum Civil War Day.

The fabric is a pale sheer pink and the trim is a darker Burgundy.  I have the hat finished so I won't have to worry about that.


I will post more pic when I get finished.
