Juul Thijssen | A Drawing a Day for Halloween - Drawlloween 2020 @JuulThijssen | Uploaded October 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
This year, 2020, I participated in Drawlloween again, making a drawing a day for the entire month of October. I am following the prompt list of the wonderful artist Mab Graves, and every day I am amazed by the wonderfully spooky and beautiful contributions of Mab herself and the artists who are participating. Most of the work can be seen on instagram, when you search for #mabsdrawlloweenclub!

**If you are missing the sound in this video, youre not wrong! I seem to have made some editing mistake and most of the audio is lost on this video. Call it ironic, because a couple of years ago I lost all my sound as well when I became deaf... So I hope you will forgive this humble deaf Costuber this sound-mistake, and still enjoy the video!**
My friend Fanny and I were very inspired by the early 1900s reform- and artistic dress movements, and both wanted to make a garment in this style. We found out that there is a contemporary pattern that makes it very easy to do so, and thought it would be the perfect historical sewing/ history bounding/ quarantine loungewear project for a sewing challenge. Hence, #ReformDressChallenge was born!
For my own reform dress, I am first designing my concept and dyeing my fabric, which can be seen in this part one video. The link to part two: https://youtu.be/eKcYoMK630s
