Woohoo! Dreamweaver is up and running again. So, an update is in order.

Summer Sky has been on hold a bit, but I still aim to get it done before Costume College.

I made a quick 1795 Open Robe out of IKEA curtains.

Now, I'm working on my Firefly costume, though I haven't updated that page much yet.

I've already started my next project, the Summer Sky Natural Form Day Dress, and I've been good so far about documenting my progress. No pictures yet, because I haven't gotten that far, but pattern and fabric descriptions as well as a write up about my first couple of bodice mock ups. I'll work on getting some pictures tonight, at least of the fabric. I'll also be working on what I hope to be my last bodice mock up.

Okay, so the Dreamweaver solution hasn't been much of a solution. I'm having a problem connecting via FTP, which isn't supposed to be an issue with the version of OS that I have, so I'm not sure how so resolve it. Anyway, that means I'm stuck uploading every file individually. Not too bad except when it comes to all the images.

At any rate, I've posted the page on my CC26 Historical Masquerade dress, which I can finally reveal. I've even gone through all the hastle of uploading all the thumbnails AND the larger images. It's not much of a diary, but I do describe a bit of my process and also go heavily into my rationale for the choices I made.

My first update of the new year and I can't share any of it. Well, at least I can now inform you that I have Dreamweaver installed on my new laptop and can update regularly again. Yay!

My current project is a top secret masquerade entry for CC26. Very hush, hush. So, although I'm working on a page for it, I won't be posting the page until after Costume Con. If I manage to get anything else sewn for the con, I'll be sure to post updates here.
