Sewing Update  

12 hours ago by lady_anne_clare

I just finished sewing them on which seemed a lot harder than I thought it would have been. I had to put all the jewels onto another wire that was black so it wouldn't show as much and then I had to sew around the wire three times to get the diamonds to sit securely. I tried the hood on without anyt ...

Behind but Still Progressing  

1 day ago by lady_anne_clare

I'm a day behind on my project. I have a nasty cold that's trying to make it's way to my chest but I'm hoping that Buckley's and lots of herbal tea will help prevent that. I finished the kirtle after having to adjust it after it was made, turns out I've lost almost 2" since I starting making it. It' ...

Kirtle Bodice Almost Complete  

4 days ago by lady_anne_clare

I just finished sewing the bodice up. I can't do anything else without having boning so it's going to have to wait. Later today I'm going to cut the skirt pieces and probably sew them since I hate having pattern pieces floating around. Right now I'm going to adjust the gown bodice before I head off ...

Kirtle Bodice Mock Up  

4 days ago by lady_anne_clare

I did a slight mock up of the bodice, I just didn't have any boning in it (the hubby will be cutting and dipping it tomorrow for me). It fit pretty well actually. The straps fit nicely, the waist is where it's supposed to be, the seams sit down the sides. The only issue I had was the top puckered. T ...

IATRSSAITWAWATSWSP  

4 days ago by jdozierezell

This quote proves, in our opinion, how far some religions have strayed from their original course, alienating even those people who might have formed them. This isn’t so much a criticism as an observati ...

Adding Width at the Waist  

5 days ago by lady_anne_clare

I thought it would have been a simple slash and spread but oh no it couldn't be that simple. When I drafted the bodice in the first place, I added the extra length in the original draft instead of slash and spreading later which made the waist even smaller. I figured I had to add an extra 5" to the ...

I'm still working on the french hood but at the same time doing other parts of the project at the same time. Multitasking at it's best. I finished putting in the lining last night so now all that has to be do ...
