Well, as you've noticed I haven't been keeping up with the HSF challenges very well (but its ok cos my target was to do 10 out of 26!) That doesn't mean I'm not inspired by them though! So, for those challenges I can't take part in but would really love to, I decided I share my imaginary projects!
For the stripes challenge, I'd love to use this Sahri which I bought around 10 years ago when I was a student - believe it or not, I paid £10 in the charity shop for this beautiful piece! It's been worn a couple of times as fancy dress, and was hung up in my room as decoration for a couple of years, but until now I've never found the design worthy of the fabric.

But thanks to HSF I now know exactly what I want to make with it! I was flipping through the Harper's Bizarre Victorian fashion book and came across this plate:
It's perfect! I think I'll have to carefully plan the trim placement based on what I have available, and probably mix in some plain pink fabric but I LOVE it! This is now on the 'to sew list' and hopefully will get made some time this year!
