The greatest thing about making all of your own clothes is that whenever i want a new dress i get to go shoppping in my favourite celebrities or historical figures wardrobes, like i want a dress to wear for my birthday and i love this one louise is wearing so i鈥檒l juts make that !

I don't know who needs to hear this but Victorian patterns are literally free on the internet. You can find most pre-1920s clothing patterns for free. Look into archives for any scanned pattern books

My latest project. I didn't make a video on this, but I may do a review of the pattern. It could use a few adjustments

Getting set up for a day of sewing!
Today I am getting the machine stitching done on the skirt and apron for my Halloween costume, after spending yesterday cutting out, pinning and hand sewing the bits that needed hand stitching (the fiddly awkward bits that a modern machines could do, but not this old gal!)
I don't have a modern sewing machine because I don't have the space for one, due to the two antique ones I already have but when we move house and I *hopefully* have a room I can dedicate to crafts, I will get one with all the modern bells and whistles!
This machine belonged to my Nain (Dad's Mum). I'm not sure when she got it, but it was made in the mid 1920s and still works! My Nain used it very often beacuse it was so reliable, and I've used it a few times since I got it. My hope is that I can keep it working as well and pass on to the next generation of stitchers!

She is oiled and working!!!!
Tbh clearing out the drawers and figuring out oiling her and the basic mechanics of treadling were plenty of work for one day + I have not yet sorted winding a bobbin or threading her or sorting out stitch length and tension. Lots to be sorted. But she is on the move!!!!

Historically Accurate Daphne Cosplay!!
I'm embarking on a mission to make historically accurate Daphne from Scooby Doo cosplays for each decade she's existed, starting when Scooby Doo first aired in'69! I used a 1969 McCalls pattern (bottom picure) and tried my best to get that swoop in my hair
