I've been bad about updating this blog with new patterns, so as of October 2024, here is everything I offer! All are patterned directly from antique garments in my collection (or collections I was given permission to work with).

Most are sizes XL, XXL, and/or 1X, and I have a couple down to S and several up to 3X.

All patterns have detailed size info in the listing, but for general labels I use this size chart.

Available on Etsy here!

I also have several free corset and brassiere patterns from antiques, 1870s-1920s (graded sizes are available for purchase).

Next pattern up, currently in testing, is this stunning ensemble....

(Should be available by December.)

I've always had trouble coming up with interesting clothes so in this piece, I tried to get inspiration online from simple dresses. Then I combined it with my love of drawing patterns.

I followed a pattern from the lady's knitting book, written by Elvina M Corbould in 1874. I had to make a couple of pattern changes so stitch counts would work out and I decided to make the jug spout ribbed as well. The biggest change of course is upping the needle and yarn sizes, I used some 10s and worsted weight and my bag ended up being about 22 inches in circumference at the widest. The other change is that I crocheted the strap and added some structural and aesthetic slip stitches to help keep the strap from stretching over time.

I used some leftover deconstructed flannel for the lining, I even incorporated the bit of the sleeve with a slit so your hand can fit through as a pocket.

I sewed the strap to the lining on the bottom part, and reinforced the top band with more slip stitches, so I could sew the strap to it without it distorting the knit fabric too much.
