A New Year and a new Start!

I'm not dead, I promise!

I've finished my Belle dress, and I'll try to get pictures soon!
I've made a little half-length wool cape for funsies. It's not historical, though.
I'm starting a project, called the Victorian Gay Pride Dress.
It's a natural form day dress, with rainbow stripes, that I'm making for the pride parade.
And also, because it fits, I'll be participating in the Historical Sew Fortnightly Challenge.
Here's my 'concept illustration'

Yesh! I'm making it from mostly Truly Victorian patterns, namely the 1880 dinner bodice, and the hermione overskirt.
Also, I have the 1880s bonnet pattern.
As for other things, I've started on my black underskirt, which is waiting to be finished after my new boots from American Duchess come in. Also after I get my boots, I'm making some spats. And, I hope to make a chemisette and cuffs to go under the dress.

In relation to the HSFC, I'll probably be participating in the stripes challenge, and the accesories challenge. I don't know that I can get anything prior to that done.

And then, outside of sewing, I'm applying to colleges, and scholarships, and jobs.
I need money for prom dress fabric, hence applying for jobs.
My life is hectic.
