Thought I would try to get through some sewing block issues by doing a simple project and decided to make a long pleated wool skirt. I wouldn’t even need a pattern! And I even had this great spruce green wool twill fabric I got for $20 at a thrift store!

Of course when I started I did not realize that I should hand baste all 31 pleats… 😭 It is a simple project but NOT a fast one.

I have so many vintage patterns I can’t remember where I got this one. My cousin gave me a ton, but I’ve also been collecting them over the years. It’s a 1940s mail order one sent out by Hoard’s Dairyman. Other mail order vendors included Anne Adams and Marian Martin.

I was hoping the pattern would be one of the tops or the slip set, but it turns out…

…it’s a really cute apron. that’s not even on the back. I’ve been trying to do some surface pattern designing, and I thought it would be neat to make a “cut and sew” design. But what do I put on it? Apples and pears like the drawing? Cowgirls to match my kitchen? Flowers with a matching tea towel? This is the hardest part of surface design - besides the actual drawing, arranging stuff, and making repeats that don’t make weird patterns themselves.

Question to all the knitters and maybe the sewists

I'm knitting a circle skirt right now and I'm not sure about the hem and the waist band yet

It's in stockinette stitch so it will curl. I thought about doing some surface crochet to embellish it, but I don't know if that will actually help with the curling. Someone having any experience with it?

Or I will do some seed stitch rows for the hem?

For the waist band: the skirt is gonna have an elastic band and since I don't want the thickness of a fold over I'm gonna just sew the elastic to the knit. And then maybe sew some stretchy fabric on to cover it? I'm not sure about that though

Has anyone any ideas or can give me some tips?

First sewing project ✅

It’s a top!!! Pretty cute right? No!😡

The problem with it is that it’s not made out of clothing fabrics so it doesn’t fit very well and it turned out veryy revealing sadly. I made the halter neck too long. Oh well I’ve gotten a lot of experience from this and it’s a good first try for not having a pattern to follow. 🪡 🎀 🧵 🪡

(Also look at me doing the little coquette clothing haul scrunch on the sides of the top lmao😭)

During this project I’ve learned how to sew buttonholes!!!!!! lol I always misread that word. When you sew buttonholes you use a special presserfoot. The picture in the middle are practice buttonholes. 🪡💕

That’s all!!! I’m hoping to actually find some sewing patterns soon as this was a bit of a struggle but other than that I did alright!!!😊

Also ignore how deathly pale I am!!!! Geez lol😅

I LOVE YOU💕

White wolf taxidermy purse.

The head is mounted but hollow, with a closure of fabric on the back of the head. I didn't know what I was going to do with this wolf head pelt for a while, but this is perfect because I will get to take this wolf with me when I go out. The strap is borrowed from another purse of mine -- I will make or acquire a more suitable one eventually.

Bit late to share my Nanny Astoreth cosplay, but here we go! More info under the cut.

To all the folks who attended the Talent show and/or submitted: loved seing your creations! Can't wait for a next year!❤

The main part of the cosplay- the coat, was made by me. From black wool, satin and burgundy nylon lining. I sewed by machine and by hand. The pattern is roughly 1890s. I wanted to make a coat that is also wearable for a normal day, not only a cosplay. (It will have it's premiere in about a week when I go to see very good production of Hamlet in the theatre.)

I always wanted to have a coat like this, so I added a little Nanny Astoreth magic to the mix and made one of my dreams come true.

Edit: I was asked about some sewing info, so there you go! Warning: I'm not a seamstress, I start and complete my sewing projects only by the inaffable audacity I posses, usually by the method of trial and error. So if you're a seamstress, please don't execute me or burn me at the stake for this, please.

The pattern is from Black Snail Patterns, it's their Victorain 1890s coat. I made few alterations: I combined the two patterns you get (with the skirt or peplum). I picked sleeves from the peplum variation but kept the skirt. (More about the skirt later.)

I made no mock up. That's it, you can crucify me. I just went for it and hoped for the best. Probably don't do that.

This was my "first" in many ways: first time using pattern with included seam allowance, first time working with interfacing, first time doing an overcoat. There were some easy part and some hard ones. I won't go over the whole process, just share a few tips I found helpfull.

Here's the whole coat with the inside. (Colours are a bit brighter then in real life, I had quite a different lighting. It also isn't so shiny.)

Before I even started sewing, I ironed in interfacing. This makes the coat stiff and strong. (I sadly have no pictures.) The pattern will tell, where to do that. I used baking sheet, so it wouldn't stick to the iron.

To ensure I have the bodice pieces all lined up, I marked the waist-line by thread. Chalupa wouldn't hold and thread made it so easy to work with the pieces. Over all, sewing the bodice together wasn't a problem, but here comes the hard part...

The satin lapels. I had a breakdown over these. I'm not kidding. First, I just sewed them in, and to make them all nice and smooth I ironed them to the ineterfacing on the wool outer layer. That turned out to be a disaster. The seams were showing on the corners because there was more fabric. I had to carefully rip it apart and think of another solution.

I decided to iron in new Layer of interfacing, sticking just to the satin. This was achieved but putting baking sheet between the two fabrics, so it doesn't stick together. There are some photos of the interfacing pinned and not ironed and then when I ironed it. (It was honestly going back and forth, trying not to overheat and melt the fabric whilst making it stick. It took forewer.)

(As you can see, the collar is stitched on with red thread. That was just to hold it in place, I later handstitched it with black one. I used the same "two interfacings" method for the collar as on the lapels. You can also see a tiny bit of the interfacing in the upper left corner of the second photo.)

Sewing and sewing in the lining wasn't much of a trouble. The sleeves took a while to figure out, but it was mainly my thread ripping while I gathered them.

The skirt was the easy part. I pinned it on and tried it, saw the waist was too low and made my proportions weird. I just moved it up and trimmed the rest of the fabric. Here you can see how the inner seam is done. It was pretty easy.

About the additional stuff - buttons, buttonholes and the buckle and belt. Buttons were made by me. I wanted them to match, so I bought a little box for making custom fabric buttons. Easy and fun! Buttonholes were supposed to be easy. First two were. The third was a disaster. What can I say? Check your foot and settings. You don't want to be undoing that. I bought the buckle in the shop, sewed the belt. The wholes for the buckle were done by sewing tiny buttonholes. I did the same for the prog of the buckle. Worked surpridingly well.

That's probably all the tios I have.

Last but not least, I have a tiny fun detail. I embroidered a little star for the starmaker! And I love it dearly!

Another English paper pieced quilt block for the Pile!

I’m by no means an expert, but I’m wondering… should I post a little video on how I’m putting these together? Maybe I’ll go work on it now 😅

I went to my first Oktoberfest last September (buuut it’s Oktob….?) and came home determined to make myself a dirndl.

Burdastyle is a German pattern company and I knew they had patterns. And then I saw this lovely gothy one! But where to find fabric? I designed some! But I’m not quite ready to post about it…
