A Blog Change.....

I absolutely love all things handwork, and have MANY, MANY, MANY projects completed that I just haven't had time to post on this blog.

This year my sister and I are going to start a few new things on our blog Proverbs 31 Sisters, so I'll be posting all of my handwork (along with new patterns and tutorials!!) on our sister blog.

So go ahead and change your bookmark address, and follow www.prov31sisters.blogspot.com

Also, I would love your opinion on the patterns and tutorials to start out with!  So comment away on this blog post, and tell me what yall want to see!

Can't wait to see you at Proverbs 31 Sisters!

Project Update!!

Here is a small update on my Regency Underthings sewing project.......

That's right.....I have only cut out the pattern and fabric........ life has been REALLY busy, and so my poor sewing machine has sat under its cover this whole year......well.....1 1/2 months that is ;-)

Here is a little tip..... I cut out my pattern in the largest size.....then, just folded the pattern to my personal size!  I will be able to re-use the same pattern on multiple people!  ;-)

I will begin sewing next week Lord willing!  :D :D :D

Have a wonderful week!

Happy New Year!!! :D

Happy New Year!!!  :D

My Next Project Is.......

.........The Regency Underthings Chemise, Short Stays, and Chemisette!!

I was so inspired by Aurora's post, and decided that I just had to make it!

Right now I am in the process of cutting out the Chemise!  I will post pictures soon!

My First Costume!

Here are the photos of the very first costume that I made!

My sister really wanted this dress to look just like the cover on the pattern, and picked out the fabric combinations herself!  She also took it upon herself to find a hoopskirt -- and it was only $20!   Great job Lizzy!!

One of my next projects will be the undergarments that go with this dress (Simplicity 2621) -- including the hoopskirt :D
