Now that CCEE is over (so. Much. Fun!), and I've caught up on a little bit of sleep, I'm starting to think about what's next on my to-do piles :D Especially with upcoming cons. I want to make a couple of book-related costumes for WorldCon :3

First will be to finish the bronze Victorian skirt, and then make a brown-velvet-ribbon-trimmed ecru jacket to go with it, from Timeless by gailcarriger. Twice now I read her books (the other being from Soulless) and discovered that Alexia had clothing I already had in my wardrobe XD I had no idea what to make to match that skirt, so thanks Gail, for giving me an idea :3

Second will be from A Woman Worth Ten Coppers by Morgan Howell. I was introduced to the series via Zutara fanart and I absolutely fell in love with it. I reread it on average once a year. Honus is told never to bear his own burden, so he buys Yim from a slave trader for ten coppers. She spends the first part of the book in a simple white slave's tunic, but as they travel and arrive back in Honus' homeland, she is bought an outfit to help her hide amongst the general populace. The description is very short, literally two lines, and doesn't give very much detail. It's a sleeveless shirt, tunic, and pants cut as full as a skirt and ending at the knee, and sandals, all dyed dark blue. I'm kinda stuck on how one could tell the shirt is sleeveless if the tunic isn't, but that's a problem for later. I don't know if anyone would even recognize the outfit, but I don't care :3

Maybe I'll finally finish my Jedi outfit, and maybe an "elf dress". I wore Ashura to Reno and I'm pretty sure most people just thought I was Random Elf #9835, but it was really fun to wear.

More options... MOAR Victorian clothes, Regency... I have to keep in mind too that we are flying, so there will be weight and space limits.
