This year I managed to finish all the challenges for the Historical Sew Monthly. Of course it helped that I had a big project, my husband's landsknecht, that I could use for many of the challenges, but it was still fun.
Here are links to this year's challenges
January - Just peachy
February - Seasons of fashion
March - Made to move
April - Colours of nature
May - New Clothes from old
June - Up your sleeve
July - Always in style
A pair of 19th century mittens
August - stripes and dots
September - New stitch in town
Oktober - UFO spotter
November - worn by all
December - That's a wrap
All in all the HSM challenges have been firmly planted in my 16th century wardrobe, and even more in my husband's wardrobe, and the theme has really been pink and red. One thing I have learnt over the years with the HSM though is to not plan too much, if I have projects that fit with a challenge that's fine but I don't really go out to find projects in order to fit them with the challenges, well maybe the mittens this year was a case of what can I do that will fit the 12th and final challenge.
The Historical Sew Monthly is a great community and I am happy to be part of it.
