I have been struggling with a pretty severe sewing block….I went with it and allowed it to stay as long as necessary.  And after a long hiatus, I am ready to start getting back in to my studio and try something new.  As most of you already know, I mainly stick with 19th century gowns, however, I have begun researching and exploring earlier centuries.  Therefore, I have decided to start with the 1700’s.  I have done some work in this period before and feel comfortable starting there.  My goal is to try some items from the 1600’s, but I need to complete further research…so we will see.

I would like to thank all of you for continuing to check my site as I know I have been woefully absent these past few weeks.  I am hoping that as I begin to start sewing again, the flow of creativity will start to show itself again.  Here are a few pictures I have found inspirational:
