Dreamwidth
So I've finally gone and moved my journal to Dreamwidth: https://broken-moons.dreamwidth.org/. I... cannot promise I'll be posting more there, since I'm mostly active on Tumblr these days but don't really get enough sewing or writing done to blog about it a whole lot... I want to ( Read more... ) -
A whirlwind adventure in Regency costuming
Alright peeps, there is one recent costume I haven't even mentioned anywhere yet, for a couple of reasons: 1) I did not have any good pictures of it yet, 2) it was such a spur-of-the-moment thing that I couldn't even really announce I was working on it, and 3) I wanted to make some adjustments to it before sharing ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
This weekend I went to Alkmaar Kaeskoppenstad, which is a historical festival in the city of Alkmaar. Specifically, the late 16th century, when the Dutch were fighting the Spanish, and an important victory was won in Alkmaar, I think.
So, I made a 16th century outfit! That is, I reused the skirt from my Sacharissa cosplay and the shirt from ( Read more... ) -
How about another costume?
Remember the sideless surcoat I made last year for Elfia Haarzuilens? Well, I juuuust realized I'd never posted pictures of me wearing it. >_> And all the while I'm complaining I don't have anything to post about. *rolls eyes ( Read more... ) -
Oh my, it's a costume!
Soooooooo
...
I suck at journals, and keeping in touch, and well, none of this is news, really.
Anyway, part of my silence is that I don't really like blogging about sewing or writing unless I have something finished, and... well, I think you can figure it out ^_^
However! I've actually got something finished!

Skyrim outift update
Excuse the crappy selfies down below, but this weekend I adapted my Skryim outfit to work without the leather corset (for better comfort - both to wear and to put on!) and I was pretty chuffed with the results! ^_^ I added rings to the sides of the apron and laced them with ribbon, and wore my belt under the apron instead of over it. It works very ( Read more... ) -
Summer dress in action
First off, sorry for not responding to comments for a while! ^_^; I kind of, er, forgot about LJ for a while... *coughs*
Anywhoo, on with the regular programme!

All ready for summer - now if only the weather did the same
So about a year ago my sewing machine broke down in the middle of making a maxi summer/party dress I was intending to wear to a big work party, and I had to abandon the project. After buying a new (and fancier) sewing machine I continued on the dress, though I never quite finished it.
Until now.

More sewing room upgrades
It feels like only last week that I redid my sewing room, but already another overhaul feels in order! I'm pretty pleased with the light I get with my cutting/sewing desk against the window, and the lack of glare behind my laptop now that it faces the wall, but one thing I am still missing is a taller cutting station. Ideally, one on wheels so that ( Read more... ) -
And another one done
Well, I'm cheating a little bit because I'm not quite done with some of the buttons on the sleeves, but if I wait until that's done I might not have time to take pics before I have wear this and then it won't be new and shiny anymore.
Anyway, my sideless surcoat is done! And the full outfit, and the outfit for my niece as well (minus ( Read more... )
