“Historical Costuming for the Rest of Us!”
Welcoming, weird, and wily historical costuming for newbies, the haphazard, and unorthodox problem-solvers. 🪡🧵🪭
Five days left to finish my ballgown! 😱 I’ve got the skirt finished; now I just have to smash together a bodice that matches, if I can. I’m 50% there! Wish me luck! (Sorry the video has no sound)

You can never have too many scissors!

Today I was ironing some old thrifted sheets when the iron awoke an old perfume in them that smelled so much like childhood in my nana’s house. So many good memories. I miss her very much. She would probably be very happy I’m still sewing and recycling just like she did. 🪡🧵💐

I loved this Jacobean Waistcoat I made as a pattern test for Margo’s Patterns. It was so comfy and the range of motion on the wide-sleeve option was top notch!

Boldly sew where no seam was sewn before!

It’s been nearly two years since I’ve sewn anything new. Two years! What a wild ride I’ve had. Shoutout to @clusterfrock.bsky.social for inviting me to Navasota to play dress up in February. Without you, I probably wouldn’t be sewing right now 🪡🧵🪭☺️
