I finished it! Well, mostly.
My entry for Emily's Vintage Visions Fall Photo Contest:
I made the mistake of following the directions, which I sure won't do again. The hat has a bit more personality than I anticipated. Such is life.
All in all I'm quite happy with this adventure. It's such a joy to participate in contests like these. I love getting to see all the entries in the Facebook page. I do hope this is a yearly thing!
Up next:
I have no idea. Maybe I'll finish my winter coat before the snow?
My entry for Emily's Vintage Visions Fall Photo Contest:
The timing of the contest was perfect! I already had the blouse and trousers in the works. While I didn't get the trousers I wanted to completed, I already had these ones. The blouse is from the Smooth Sailing pattern. The print has flowers and bees in perfect fall colours. Maybe bees aren't autumnal...?
The jacket is a gift from my Dad. I've always felt it has a little 1940s feel to it so it was a great addition to this outfit. I panicked a little because it's been so darn cold the past week. I though for sure I wouldn't be able to find a tree with any leaves left, but I did! Huzzah!
The brooch is something near to my heart. Not because it's heart, but because I got it from the first real costuming job I had. I moved across the country to work at Fort Edmonton Park, and when I started working in costume one day a week I bought this beauty to wear with my 1884 bustle dress.
And now for the hat. I had my outfit all planned out until I remembered I don't have an appropriate hat! Ack! But then Jill of Adeline's Attic posted this little number for sale. Don't mind if I do!
All in all I'm quite happy with this adventure. It's such a joy to participate in contests like these. I love getting to see all the entries in the Facebook page. I do hope this is a yearly thing!
