#morgandonner

I sewed a pirate shirt to wear to the @newyorkrenaissancefaire for my birthday yesterday! I followed @morgandonner's updated Elizabethan shift tutorial! I made a couple changes - pleats instead of gathers, as little hand sewing as I could manage, and hip-length instead of floor-length - but otherwise followed it pretty closely! For a first ever sewn garment, it turned out great! I have a whole list of things I'm planning to change next time I make a pirate shirt, though! 😂😂😂 Thanks to @maitaesther for the pic! . . . . . . #buttercupyarnart #morgandonner #pirateshirt #sewing #finishedobject #handmade #renfairecostume #renfairesewing #renfaire #nyrenfaire #plussizesewing https://www.instagram.com/p/CisgjdqLc-R/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Inspired to wear again by @morgandonner but my first time going #elasticless This was my go-to style a couple of years back that I called faux hair taping. It is two four-strand braids with the ribbon acting as one of the strands. No pins, no elastics and it still holds well, despite my fine hair! #elasticless #hair #morgandonner #fauxhairtaping https://www.instagram.com/p/CL4i5z4M_wL/?igshid=3lqmroovzp20

Photo-rich costuming blog post on developing a late 16th century women's dress inspired by Sailor Moon. Really good work-in-progress details and construction tips, and the finished costume is lovely :)
