sewing projects

I'm making a short list because if I make a big list, nothing will ever get done. See? I'm learning...slowly.

Finish up the Regency gown tonight and tomorrow night. I think a forest green sash with the thing will look lovely (the dress will be a coral rose color). I promise to post pictures.

Once I get that done, I'm going to take the red poly satin stuff I have lying around (bought it online years ago and was told it was silk. It's some sort of poly blend) and make one of the Dangerous Beauty type gowns. I have enough and I can easily make the dress and pants to go with it. This should work for the weekend of the 12th and 13th, don'tcha think? :-) Now, If I can get the person I'm bringing to dress up too...that would be good.

After that, back to Regency and make the short stays. That shouldn't be too bad...hopefully.

MD Renn Fest gown plans

Oh yes, I'm planning early. Why? Because this way I won't be doing 20 million things at the last minute. Okay, so I will be anyway but at least I won't have any good excuses.

So, gown plans...

Question

So, for Magic weekend at MDRF in about 5 or 6 months, I'd like to go as someone from the Harry Potter books. I'm thinking either Bellatrix or Tonks. Any opinions one way or the other? For a refresher, here's a picture of me looking tired and frustrated at the stupid camera. :-) It's actually not a bad picture if you get past the fact I was very tired (still on the night shift at that point) and had very short fuse (because I was on the night shift. Lack of sleep makes me very very grumpy, quickly).
