American Duchess Shoes...

American Duchess is at it again... new designs and an over all drool worthy shoes with new designs in Edwardian and the 1920s. If I were rich I would purchase a pair of every shoe in every color. I can hear my mom now "You already have too many pairs of shoes". Yes but these would go with my Costumes!!! LOL

In Celebration of the newest member of the A D shoe line Lauren over at American Duchess is giving away these beautiful shoes named "Gibson". I admit freely I am drooling over ever color and could not possibly decide. *SIGH* I would do a jig if I won... though chances are slim. :D







So anyways if you want your own chance to win or even to purchase a pair whilst they are on specail preorder head over to AD.

Edwardian Hat Tutorial...

Image
The Lovely and talented Tara Maginnis, creator of the Costume Manifesto, has a wonderful hat pattern on her site that is for an Edwardian hat out of Buckram.= I have used her pattern many times. I have even modified her pattern to make a Victorian small crown hat. Her instructions are easy to follow and once you have made it you and know the fundamentals you can pretty much make any hat. I admit I forgot a crucial step whilst making my newest hat and I'm hoping that it doesn't affect the final product. (I will of course tell you which step I missed and inform you how to do the step.) So this will be a two part Tutorial the first part is how to make the buckram frame. (My way... I don't quite follow all the instructions but you'll see where I differ slightly) * I HIGHLY recommend using at least a size 14 or 16 needle as I hit the wire at least a dozen times while making my hat and if I had had a thinner needle on my machine it would have snapped. ALSO! I wear re

Many Sides of One Coin...

After my regular title was taken--Life according to Me-- I decided to upgrade (if you will) my normal headline. LOL. After many many many requests to blog more regularly I am once again trying my hand at publicly writing my thoughts. I am going to make this blog not just my boring ramblings but also my creations. So with out much ado, My current projects: I have been slowly working on this beautiful creation. Its a cotton broadcloth cream colored Regency dress. Made from Mrs. Chancey's beautiful patterns. A few more shots the next one is a close up of the front where it will button close (first time I ever made a placket!) The sleeves which will be short, will also have the same sort of embroidery on it. I am very pleased with the progress of this dress, though I am really taking my time on it. No rushing. That was my only requirement when I decided to make it. And lastly the back. This dress was tacked together so that I could try it on. It is now once again in two main pa

If Blogging were as simple as Facebook...

I can't tell you how many times I said "If blogging were as simple as facebooking, I'd be set" in the last two months. I am horrible at blogging. I always find myself sewing more than writing. But I'm hoping to change that. I had an amazing opportunity a few weeks ago to go to a HUGE convention called "Costume College". I can't tell you how many fantastic people I met while there. It was all hugely overwhelming and I came back itching to create more things and, if given the opportunity to attend again, even teach a class. Which I have already thought out set up and gotten ready. SO if the powers that be grant me both of my HUGE wishes for 2016 I will die a happy woman. Anyways back to the subject at hand. I am waiting for the AMAZING photographer at Shotwell Portraits to post my Ball Gown photos before I blog about the two Bustle Era costumes I made for the events but in the mean time you all (the what three people that actually read this) will h
