finished my new shirt a week or two ago but didn't have an opportunity to take good pictures till just now! (don't mind the modern pants lol)
the design is quite close to the specifications of the same book I used for the last couple (The Workwoman's Guide, published 1838), but for a formal/"gentleman's" shirt instead. the main differences lie in how much fabric is used and, of course, the frills/ruffles. I did leave out the bib or front that the book directs you to let into the chest; I couldn't find any reference examples online of a shirt with both frills and a let-in front, so I just did the frills.
very happy with how this one turned out--I have some quibbles with the collar, which I think could stand to be taller/fuller, but I have other things I wanna get to so I'm leaving it as is. for now I have a fancy shirt suitable for wearing in any situation where I want to look poetic and/or fancy. ideal wear for drowning during an ill-advised Italian boating trip
also depicted in the first image is my new cravat that I made the other night--an 18 x 18 right triangle of red muslin, folded up and tied. I fancy it is rather grand, if you will
next time i might have a waistcoat to show? maybe?

Sewing bi colored Filipiniana/terno/butterfly sleeves! This project was something of a personal treat to myself after turning my first round of revisions into my editor for Saints of Storm and Sorrow my Filipino epic fantasy, I really wanted to have something fun and bi and Filipino for author events and book promo type stuff. I'm also working on a version that's book themed 🦪⛈️🇵🇭

backstory: I am tall and the sleeves on many of the jackets I have are too short, so I wanted to buy sleeve gloves….then! I miraculously found some similar ones at home but they looked a bit dull for me, so I started with just the crochet additions…. however knowing me, it couldn’t just end there because I have never been a minimalist so I added the bugs :) 🪲
anyway I just thought I’d share this because maybe before you buy something new, look around for things at home and reuse them. or at least try give them new meaning. upcyle things.

My Clemensia Dovecote/Capitol Academy uniform is finished! The entire costume was made from scratch except for the bag!
This is probably the first time I've worn the whole cosplay together and so far so good! Also this is the first character I've done that does not require a wig!

"I love sewing" I say as though every time I sit at the torture device I do not cycle through the 5 stages of grief, wondering why anyone on this, God's green earth, would choose to forsake their time whiling away at this 3d engineering nightmare of a concept

Shenanigans are happening.
...
Okay, not really shenanigans.
I found instructions to make an Edwardian skirt and we made one for Halloween out of this suiting wool we had lying around. And I LOVE it.
I've been wearing it CONSTANTLY. It's light but still warm; it's so hydrophobic that I didn't realize until hours later that I'd accidentally spilled coffee on it on Halloween and I was able to just blot it off; it's fitted at the top but got a great swirl at the hem; since I made it, it's the correct length to be long without worrying about it dragging on the ground; and I can dress it up or down as I see fit.
So when it came time to put together a list of things I wanted for the holidays, I realized that one of the major things that I really wanted was a bunch more of these skirts. Long, swirly, made out of hardy natural fibers. So I could just transition into a Skirt Wearer. The problem being that we don't, in general, have on hand the amount of fabric needed to make another skirt in my size, even in a poly. BUT there's a discount fabric store less than an hour away from us that has a decent selection of wool for less than a third of the price you would pay buying new. So what I asked for was a trip there and a budget to buy enough fabric for a few skirts.
I was thinking maybe three more, but the prices were even lower than I expected and I ended up with enough for six skirts — 4 wool and 2 linen, 3 mid/heavy weight and 3 light weight. Also a bonus tatting needle because I wanted to try tatting lace and it was only $6 and came with instructions and a simple pattern, so why not?
Another bonus? That greyish green one right above the houndstooth? It looks like stripes, but it's actually wool corduroy! Which was a pleasant surprise! I picked it out on the color alone, the back of it looks similar to the Lothlorien cloaks, but it was folded up on a shelf and, like most textured fabrics, was folded inside-out to protect the texture. So I didn't actually see that it was corduroy until I got it up to the counter and unfolded it a bit to get a better sense of it.
That one and the houndstooth, I think, are going to be split down the front and get some buttons. The other two wools are just going to be plain. The linen skirts I'm thinking about doubling up as petticoats for under the wool skirts on particularly cold days. Which might end up including a removable ruffle. This was apparently a Thing around the turn of the century. The ruffle would add some extra fullness to the bottom of the skirt, protect the actual hem of the petticoat from damage (since it would be worn and laundered more often than the skirt), and be sewn to keep the gather, and then basted onto the pettycoat for easy removal to wash or mend or replace it.
I suspect I'm gonna be too lazy to actually do that. So either one of the linen skirts will just have a permanent ruffle, or I'll make a removable ruffle and it'll just sit in the back of my closet.
But I'm GREATLY looking forward to this, especially with all I learned from the first skirt.
Also tatting? The lowest bar for learning a new needlework craft. It's a single long needle, and there's only one stitch. There's some trickyness to it starting out, i've gotten my rings knotted several times. But I do think part of that is because I'm using embroidery floss. I do actually have the correct yarn, I just have to go digging for it, and I had the embroidery floss more easily to hand.

Sewing Darts: Bust and Waist Darts Tutorial for a Perfect Fit
In this post, you will learn how to sew darts for perfect fit.
Darts are one of the most essential and versatile sewing techniques that you need to master if you want to make your own clothes or alter existing ones.

veeeeerry slowly this coat is getting done. All the interlining in the body of the coat has been stitched in; now I just need to hand stitch in the interlining in the sleeves. I also had to redo all my work on the cape because a wool hem on the opposite side made it too stiff so it didn't drape at all. The only reason I did it that way is because I didn't have enough of the one orange silk to do the entirety of the lining. So I had to unpick all of that and decide to put in a different kind of silk that I had enough of to work with. It's not nearly as pretty or robust, but I don't think the cape is going to see a lot of stress/strain, so hopefully it holds together.
Anyway, this means I just have to get the sleeves on, as well as the cuffs, figure out how to attach the collar/cape, and then hem it. Then it will be done and it will be May lol.

Babies who pee on themselves are subjected to the Piss Pants.
These are a prototype and there's things that I will change for the next go. But they'll do the job.

SewFast Dye Young YouTube
This year I really want to get my channel to 1000 followers.
I am at 676. (nice palindrome!)
I know I need to do more regular content, which has been hard with work. (I love my day job, but I am also exhausted by it...)
I am also trying to produce some tiktok content alongside to help bolster the channel and find a following...
I don't 100% know where I want to go with this. I keep thinking about writing sewing/craft books or other ways I can make this something that could be a career... And maybe it will only ever be a side project, that's okay too, but sometimes I just really want to work for myself or go back to designing costumes and I need a steady but flexible thing to balance that...
Done rambling. Go follow my channel please!
