Hello?
1-2-3?
Yeah, I fell off the earth I know. In my defense I've been reading all of your journals pretty much every day, but with a small child and life, the universe and everything there's been precious little sewing going on and even less writing about it.

But with the Historical Sew Fortnightly (which I tried and failed at) turning into a ... ( Read more... )

I still haven't found my camera's usb cord, but in a sneak attack I borrowed Jo's posh camera and here's a picture of the pocket I finished the other week. It's handsewed with the same fabric as my new stays, backed with green linen leftovers from the matching petticoat. Some day I'd like to emroider a pocket, but not all pockets were, and in the ( Read more... )

I've been a bad girl. Instead of working on one of the three projects I allow myself to have going at any given time I decided to do a little thing on the side ( Read more... )

The breeches are handsewn in navy wool and are to be a part of the whig themed suit Charles Gray wears when canvassing in the Duchess movie. [pic courtesy of padawansguide ]. I'm incidentally also hoping ( Read more... )

This is a project I've been working on and off on since February of last year (or actually it's morphed over the years since '00, but since Feb last year in its cranach reincarnation). I've worn it twice in its cranach progress, but since it wasn't finished on these occasions I've decided not to share pictures with you guys until now ( Read more... )

I finished Sooah's bluestriped anglaise this weekend. There actually wasn't much to wrap up, but I find that those little things needed to complete an outfit are usualy the ones that I never get around to do. But I finally did and here she is:

I'm on a roll here, this is the 3rd project I've finished this year (and it's still January ( Read more... )
