I’ve been working on loads of kids Halloween costumes this week all of which will hopefully be listed by next weekend. 🙂 I have a knight costume, pirate costumes for both boys and girls and I’m thinking of maybe a princess costume to go with the knight.

Haven’t really done anything more on my regency gown or with my regency pantaloons but when I finish these kids things I’ll get right onto them.

For the gown, I just need to do another fitting and a couple of pattern adjustments then I can start using the final fabric.

I’m still looking for a fabric for the pantaloons, I’m thinking some kind of brown or maybe dark green or blue wool or twill. I think I need to do a bit more research into colour and fabric before going out to buy anything.

In other news my mum just got her university results and has officially qualified as an Art Psychotherapist. Going back to uni was such huge thing for her, and she had to deal with some pretty big health issues smack bang in the middle of the course. But she persevered, worked crazy hard and did it. I’m so crazy proud of her, and I’ll be buying her celebration cake very soon!

We have my cousin’s wedding this weekend which should be really fun. I love hanging out with our extended family and I always feel like I never get to spend enough time with them. Plus it’ll be the first time introducing the Viking boy to the extended family so that should be exciting.

There really wasn’t much of a point to this blog post other than a need to write something. I’ll do an update on the pantaloons soon, as I still have to go through the waistband process.

Last but not least, I have an interview appearing in the Glasgow Evening Times soon. It’ll be available in the paper and on their website. I’ll be sure to post a link up when it appears. I even had a photographer round to take some shots of me to go with the interview so I’m quite excited to see what it turns out like 🙂

Ok I’ve kind of run out of steam now so until then

See you in the future! ♥
