late 18th century ivory silk petticoat and underbodice (no pictures since I haven't actually had them on yet and couldn't be bothered to put on my stays to take pictures of them, maybe once I get around to the rest of the costume)

late 1880’s black felt bonnet


green tricotine early 17th century petticoat with upperbodies


early 17th century coif and forehead cloth


September:
1610’s peach linen jacket
early 17th century partlet and cuffs


late 16th/early 17th century smock (no pictures, and you're not going to get any either because it's too boring to bother)

October:
knitted Christmas ball ornament

December:
two cross-stitched kitten Christmas ornaments


1800’s red/gold silk spencer


18th century ship pinball


three girls’ skirts (no pictures, but they're the same as the rock star skirts but in lavender, turquoise, and brown satin)

UFO’s as of the New Year (in the order begun):

1890’s tucked petticoat with hand-knit lace – the lace is half finished. I started making up the petticoat body, but I might replace it with something nicer since I'm looking at spending a hundred hours knitting lace.

1936 sweater with turreted collar – the main body pieces are finished. Now it needs pressing, assembly, and a section of ribbing around the neck since I’m not planning to make the turreted collar. If this were for a 1930’s costume, I’d probably do the collar, but since I’m making this for regular wear, I don’t want quite such a dated feature. The neck treatment I'm going to use is the same as that on another sweater pattern from the same period.

1870 Le Baiser dress – the underskirt is finished but for a band of trim around the hem and a couple of eyes. The dress itself hasn’t even been started, though the pattern for the 1868 green dress will be a good starting point.
