So what a year 2021 has been. I had some really big, or rather one really big thing happening to me, and that really affected my costuming.
If you don't know in 2021 I met the most wonderful guy in the world, and he's now my fiance and we are planning our wedding for 2022. That being said, I got some things done, even if most of it was before I stopped being single.
Going back my plans for 2021 was
- a wool nightgown
- a simple 16th century shift
- a pair of 16th century hose
- a regency outfit for a ball
- finishing the 1520s courtgown by making the cape
- Princess Daisy
- Jedi librarian
The regency ball was cancelled due to the pandemic, so I didn't do anything regency related.
Out of the plans I did make the wool nightgown a simple standard medieval gown that will work medieval farmer from the viking age up until the renaissance. I just realized that I haven't posted about it all though.
The simple 16th century shift was made by remaking an older shift, it also fitted HSM challenge four.

Princess Daisy was a success, when I finally finished her in time for ComicCon Stockholm.

I think my jedi librarian was my favorite project of the year though, and the one I'm most happy with. It also got approved as a jedi with the Rebel Legion.
The winter started out with restrictions due to the pandemic, so we and my friends in our 16th century guild met up outside in the winter, and I needed something to keep warm.
The first thing I did was an historical jacket. I made it to be generic and fit most time periods from the 16th to the 18th century. It was mostly based on 16th and 17th century images though.
Worn with my mustard kirtle and one of my 16th century hoods, but without the wulst, I finally felt that I had something 17th century to wear, as I did at the annual Christmas fair at the Falun Mine.
I also made a hood out of black wool.
The most unexpected project was when I got picked as a pattern tester for the Selina blouse from Scroop Patterns.
I finished the pocket for my traditional costume, an embroidery that had been started more than 15 years ago.
This was finished in June, and then I wasn't single anymore, which explains the lack of updates for the rest of the year.
As for the HSM challenges I finished a few at least.
I have also started a bunch of cross stitch embroidery projects for borders to 16th century shifts and veils, and it would be fun to finish them and actually use them for something.
