Day 15 of #fearfreefebruary - learning. I love learning new things, especially in my sewing. I decided to put some pintucks on my petticoat. I’m using linen and as it’s very wobbly, I decided to pull some threads to make sure they were even. On the back side I just matched the edges of the line and then sewed them together. I’m sure it not the usual way, but I think they turned out well. 😊 https://www.instagram.com/p/CLVSPFMJwEJ/?igshid=kjhr2qq7plhf

Day 14 of #fearfreefebruary - forgiveness. I wasn’t sure what to post today, but I do have a lot of unfinished projects just waiting to be picked up. I have learned this can be a good thing as I get bored sometimes and it’s nice to have something else to work on. These stays were something I stated before 2020, and they got pushed to the wayside as other things pile up. Now I think I’m ready to finish them as I have plans for a dress that will go overtop. https://www.instagram.com/p/CLSpXFpJCl8/?igshid=z0dn9pi9ndpt

Day 13 of #fearfreefebruary - connection. I learned how to work the inkle loom at an SCA event after the class of assembling the loom. This was my third attempt and I’m pretty proud of how the design turned out. https://www.instagram.com/p/CLQvAWhpHly/?igshid=bghh6rmfs6dm

I’ve missed some days, but here is day 12 of #fearfreefebruary - travel. I used to do a lot of traveling as a member of the SCA, but as everything else, all events have been canceled. I miss being able to travel, I miss my friends I’ve made, and I miss dressing up. I look forward to when we can all gather once again. https://www.instagram.com/p/CLN7-4OJXgw/?igshid=1kpvbv9s2sacn

Day 9 of #fearfreefebruary - joy. This skirt was one of the first piece of clothing that I made, all hand sewn, for everyday wear. It brings me joy knowing I made it and it’s been amazing for the cold weather. I definitely plan on making more from different fabrics for different seasons. https://www.instagram.com/p/CLFZaQSJIN2/?igshid=1g49yntjjh9tp

Day 7 of #fearfreefebruary - inspiration. I’m always inspired by favorite characters and it made me very happy when the theme for Foundations Revealed competition was decided last year. I decided on my love for Anne of Green Gables and her passion for story, especially The Lady of Shalott. I knew I should had started months ago, but I’m pretty proud of my creation (I will definitely be running down empty castle halls with this one) ❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CLAA1oVJAk3/?igshid=1fqfrktdpeg8o
