Victorian ads are the best, no notes, I will not hear anything different, I am dying. Whats worse is that I was just looking for embroidery patterns... I found at least three more like this.. Lets see if I can hold back enough not to make another one of these.

This blouse was entirely stitched by hand (it was my evening couch project for almost two months) and made from leftover linen pieces from other projects. The instrument lace became a fashion choice, but also a practical way to join the update and lower sleeve so I could cut them from separate pieces since I lacked scraps long enough to cut a whole sleeve.

like they call that "revamped." it's not the same shoe guys!!!! not at all!!!!

“The veil is longer than it is wide by however long you want, see the diagram above for starters. It is drawn across the face and affixed to the hat in the correct manner.”

My latest commission! Made for my most whimsical friend (literally they legally changed their middle name to Whimsy), who just had top surgery and then found that standard 21st-century men's formalwear was both boring and not very gender-affirming. The solution... and exciting fabric, an 1830s waistcoat and, and a big poofy ruffly 19th century shirt!

I ended up winning Best in Class for Workmanship and second for Presentation

Once again, this design is based on the traditional Palestinian “heaven and hell” pattern.
