My Proposal:
A lady's regency costume in complete, from shift and stay to gown, shawl, bonnet, reticule and maybe even a light spencer.
Why: For fun and practice and a chance to take pictures and show off our skills (or lack therof in my case! ::LOL)
How: Each person commits to sewing or fabricating one or more components of the costume lot, agreeing on colours, a size and such. We can even ebay this item as a lot and split the sum or even donate it to a worthy cause (or even a costume-deprived member).
What do you all think of this (and do you want to do this in addition to other personal projects?)
Thoughts?
