So much has been going on these last two weeks and I shall do my best to share it all with you. (Be warned it is not all Victorian things this week)
First off I am attending some reenactments coming up that I am very excited about. The battle of Tunnel Hill will be my first camp reenactment to which I am quite struggling with. Since I am used to the Girls School and my fine day wear(mostly a trimmed skirt, sheer bodice and belt.) I am having to adjust to cotton fabric of which I have none(unless it is hiding somewhere). So it is off to the fabric store as soon as I get paid! I really must start selling these...
Any ways, I will also be attending my First World War II reenactment in late September. I am very excited as I have always wanted Allie's wardrobe from the Notebook. I know it is not Victorian but I think you all might like to see a few other things as well.
On another note I did something most reenactors don't: I have dyed my hair! Bright red ombré to be more precise. This is not at all a period style or color. (oops.) Either way it might be good to know how to style non natural hair for those of you who would like to dress accurately. :) I do love it though!
Yesterday my sister and I boldly went and auditioned for our local theater who is starting production of Willy Wonka! It was the first time I sang for a group of people I did not know! I must say I may not be bread for Broadway but I can hold a tune. I sang My Favorite Things from The Sound of Music which I think is a classic! I was so proud of my little sister though! She did so well! As far as projects go I do have some fabric I could be using. I will need to make a new Christmas ball gown since I have gotten much better at sewing things. Sitting in my stash is a lovely green, black and silver plaid that I will hopefully be using. I don't have much else underway at the moment so for now, here is some lovely Civil War inspiration:
