So my goals for today is to:
- Clean my living room
- Clean my sewing area
- Straighten up kitchen and bathroom
- Vacuum
- Clean bedroom
Although it seems like a lot, it really is not. But for me, especially with feeling exhausted all hours of the day since we came back from Disney world, it appears to be a daunting task! lol. Hopefully I can motivate myself to get it all done. Because once those are done then I plan on doing the following things:
- Make a new bum roll. Last year’s bum roll was way to small, not enough roll for the bum to be noticeable!
- Make a new, pretty pouch for my new pretty gown
- Layout and cut the under layers for my bodice for my gown
- Layout and cut the under layers for my husbands doublet.
Here is the pattern that I ended up buying, although I said I will never buy a Simplicity pattern unless it was on sale, I just couldn’t let it go! lol
Men's Doublet
Now, if you know me, and have been a reader of my blog. You know that I hate using patterns! Not because I dislike patterns, but because I am the type of person that always wings it, and can figure out how to do things myself. When I use patterns, it kind of throws me for a loop when following their directions. So it’s not guaranteed that I will be using this pattern for his doublet, but it will be used as a guide at least.
Now for my dress this year. Of course I am basically winging it once again, as I did all of my dresses, but here is the inspiration:

Now for me, I don’t think I am going to do the shoulder rolls, and not sure if my waist of the dress will have the pleated effect as seen above. But that was basically my inspiration.
But I suppose that the only way to actually get those lists done is to stop blogging and do it! I will be back later with pictures on my progress!
