European costumers: 123inkt.nl (dutch stationery store) has flipcharts with a 2.5cm grid that you can use to enlarge historical patterns!!! So stoked to not have to draw my own inch grid that’s inevitably crooked 🥲🧵🪡
Top view of a flipchart (97.5cm x 65cm) with a 2.5cm grid. On top of the flipchart, at the bottom left of the picture, lies the book “Patterns of Fashion 1: Englishwoman’s dresses and their construction. 1660-1860”. At the top right of the picture is a notebook, half out of image.

18th century mitts made from a secondhand woolen scarf. Cut on grain instead of on the bias bc the scarf was narrow, so it’s a squeeze but they’re nice and warm 😌 🧵🪡

Taking a pattern drafting class has truly been the best decision I’ve made in a while. Unlimited possibilities!!!

The belly fluff may seem inviting, but pet at your own risk. ⚠️
A grey British shorthair cat is laying on its back with it’s back legs splayed out, exposing a very fluffy belly.

Side view of a white woman wearing 1780s undergarments: a short sleeved white chemise shows under green back-lacing stays. She is wearing a bum pad and petticoat, which make her hips look dramatically larger. One arm is lifted up to show the silhouette created by the stays and the shelf-like bum pad.
