HSF Challenge

I revived this blog mostly so I could follow along with The Dreamstress on the Historical Sewing Fortnightly challenge. Unfortunately, I found out about it too late to participate in challenges #1 and #2. But challenge #3 isn't due until the 15th, and it's pink. Yes, just pink. I need a more formal skirt of the 1885 variety, so I will attempt to make a skirt with big box pleats, something new for me. And really, that's the whole point, to challenge yourself. But, honestly, the challenge will be to get the pink skirt done AND the 1905 dress for my appearance as Nelly Boyd on Feburary 21st.  I will keep you posted.
