I might have forgotten about this project. Again. I finished making it at the beginning of August and still haven’t finished writing about it, how awful is that? Today i’m fixing that! This is the second post about making my Floral Regency Dress, part one is posted here and shows how I made the bodice. … Continue reading Making a Floral Regency Dress, Part Two
It’s been almost two weeks since my last post, which is pretty awful. I had a month where I was feeling very uninspired and didn’t get very much done. Then my family was traveling and I ended up going almost two weeks without sewing, for me that’s kind of crazy since I usually sew everyday. … Continue reading Making a Floral Regency Dress, Part One
Surprise, I’m not dead! And I have an explanation (kind of). I have been sewing, and I have been writing, but I’ve been documenting the process over on Patreon and my YouTube channel. This year I’ve tried to make my social media presence (if you can call it that) a little more profitable to justify … Continue reading 1840’s Dotted Dress – Part One
Today I have another set of photos to share. Much like the last photos I posted, these have an autumn theme and were taken in a pumpkin patch. I thought it would be make the perfect lighthearted backdrop for a wacky dress like this one, and it did not disappoint! This was my first time having … Continue reading 1830’s Plaid Pleated Dress, Photos
Usually I post about making a dress, then post about making matching accessories. But today I felt like blogging about making this bonnet, so i’m doing things a little backwards. I’ve recently finished a regency themed dress made from a red and white floral fabric. I showed a little preview of it in my last progress report, … Continue reading Making a Cotton Sateen Regency Bonnet
Sorry for the lack of updates this week! I had a little backlog of posts (completed projects I hadn’t written about) but I’ve gone through them all, so now I’ll be posting about things as I work on them – which means posts may be less consistent depending on what I get done. My newest … Continue reading Making a Red 1830s Day Dress, Part One
I’m a little late with writing this – but not as late as I was last year! So hopefully that counts for something! Like the title of this post implies, this is going to be a look back on what I made in 2015. I’m going to share my thoughts on each project, my goals for … Continue reading A look back on 2015
I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays! I had a quiet but nice Christmas. It wasn’t filled with surprises because I was responsible for buying my own presents, but that arrangement worked out really well because I got exactly what I wanted! And what I wanted was fabric. Lots of fabric. And some beads. Which meant … Continue reading A Fabric Haul & Project Plans!
October was very eventful. I wouldn’t say it was productive because I didn’t get that much accomplished, but a lot happened! I started and completed three dresses. I began work on two others. I added more fabric and glittery things to my ever growing collection. I got photos of my flower dresses. And I received … Continue reading Progress Report: November
Oh gosh it feels really weird to be more then halfway through the year! I feel like I haven’t gotten much done so far, not nearly as much as I wanted too, but i’ve learned a lot and i’m proud of the things I have done. Hopefully the rest of this year will prove to … Continue reading Progress Report: August 2014
