Jane Fest Progress

Well I've been living eating and breathing Jane Fest. With less that 3 weeks to go, panic is setting in. Sooo much to do! I still have to make at least 2 dresses for sale off the rack, then finish my ballgown

1810 Dress made from a cashmere shawl, inspiration for my sari ballgown

 and make  my open robe and the petticoat to go under it for Jane Fest day wear.

1790's open robe, i plan something along these lines..

Then 2 more hats for sale and one bonnet for me.

I want to make a copy of this Bonnet from Napoleon and the Empire of Fashion, to wear with my sleeveless spencer!

 I need to make 3 chemises for sale since many of my for sale dresses are semi sheer cotton.
 Like that's not enough I have shoes to decorate, jewelry to make,

Cameo Parure from 1840, I wanting to make something like this to match my ballgown.

 mittens to sew, whip up 10 or so reticules, make a habit shirt to go with a customers riding habit and probably 100 more things I can't remember right now....
But with this as with all things it helps to look back and see what one has already accomplished to get a sense of well accomplishment....
In the past 10 days I have made.

In addition to this I finished up a riding habit skirt for a customer and made a fitting toile for the riding habit jacket. But I don't have any pictures of these..

So for 10 days it's not to shabby really.
 But now back to work!
