Lauma Pret 🕸️<p>Got on a whim 2,5 metres of some kind of mistery wool fabric on sale. Last piece, incredibly soft and pleasant to touch. Medium weight I think. Gray with thin, almost invisible pinstripe. 1,54 wide.<br>I could make an interlined Victorian walking skirt... I wonder what other options I have? <br><a href="https://toot.lv/tags/HistoricalSewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HistoricalSewing</span></a> <a href="https://toot.lv/tags/HistoryBounding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HistoryBounding</span></a></p>
Sini Tuulia<p>Thoughts about Victorian and Edwardian fashions vis a vis the summer heat:</p><p>It's rather hot now in Finland, compared to how Finland usually is. Our buildings are also made to retain heat and only rich people and municipal buildings tend to have AC, so let's just say that it's warm. Anyway.<br>Because I'm the way I am I usually wear at least the layers of chemise, drawers, petticoat or two, skirt and blouse or shirt. Just in general, I enjoy it, even when it's been a round 25 Celsius inside.</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/HistoricalFashion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HistoricalFashion</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/HistoryBounding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HistoryBounding</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Victorian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Victorian</span></a></p>
dracosewing adventures of a budding history bounder
Sini Tuulia<p>Didn't even notice I'd finished it at first, as I was so annoyed and the cats were doing crime... Anyway. Edwardian waist!<br>Here's a little gif of me wearing it just on top of what I was already wearing. Ideally it'd go on top of corset and layers!</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/HistoryBounding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HistoryBounding</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sewing</span></a></p>
Sini Tuulia<p>It has been some time but I have finally finished the embroidery on the Edwardian waist! It's not perfect and I could go back and redo so many things, but here we are! Even got some beads on there. Now I think I might make and attach a lining... 😶 </p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Embroidery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Embroidery</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sewing</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/HistoryBounding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HistoryBounding</span></a></p>
Deborah Makarios<p>Nice quiet afternoon sewing a night coif.<br>The pattern is coif 1a from the Marquis of Winchester's Regiment living history guide to coifs and hair, but the fabric is far from historical, being the button-side front of a red checked flannel shirt. (The buttonhole-side front has been a night-coif for over a year now.)<br><a href="https://www.marquisofwinchesters.co.uk/living-history-guide-coifs-and-hair/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">marquisofwinchesters.co.uk/liv</span><span class="invisible">ing-history-guide-coifs-and-hair/</span></a><br><a href="https://theres.life/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sewing</span></a> <a href="https://theres.life/tags/HandSewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HandSewing</span></a> <a href="https://theres.life/tags/HistoryBounding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HistoryBounding</span></a> <a href="https://theres.life/tags/nightcap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nightcap</span></a> <a href="https://theres.life/tags/coif" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>coif</span></a> <a href="https://theres.life/tags/headwear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>headwear</span></a></p>
Sini Tuulia<p>Finished the flossing, and kept doing slightly different variations because I got a little bit bored. 😄 The main function of the flossing is to decoratively secure the ends of the bones inside their channels, so they'll not wiggle around so much, and also will take longer to work themselves through the fabric or the ribbon.<br>Also put on a couple more leaves because I wanted to.</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sewing</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Embroidery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Embroidery</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/HistoryBounding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HistoryBounding</span></a></p>
Sini Tuulia<p>On the Edwardian waist belt thing: Topstitched the turned under hems down, trimmed them... Could hide the absolute mess of the embroidery and everything with a lining, but probably won't. 😄 Put on these enormous hooks because it's supposed to be very snug, and it's easier to hook things closed when the hooks are enormous... Now in the middle of sewing the thread bars. It's very Shaped™️</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sewing</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/HistoryBounding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HistoryBounding</span></a></p>
Sini Tuulia<p>Embroidery update! I have run out of thread I want to use!<br>Did finish the flowers a couple of nights ago, and got started on the leaves... Realised I wanted burgundy, purple and red brown leaves actually, and am now awaiting more thread to do them. Will need to topstitch the turn when I get around to it.</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Embroidery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Embroidery</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sewing</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/HistoryBounding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HistoryBounding</span></a></p>
Sini Tuulia<p>Well this is going to take forever.<br>I assembled most of the belt pieces and finished &amp; reinforced the seams with this sturdy linen tape I had. Now attempting to embroider... Something on the front.<br>The hoop, the smallest I could find, is slowing me down but the end result is slightly neater than without a hoop, so we'll try I guess.</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sewing</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Embroidery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Embroidery</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/HistoryBounding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HistoryBounding</span></a></p>
Sini Tuulia<p>Left to my own devices I've begun to attempt to make an Edwardian waist belt thing. I do have one, but it no longer fits me sans corset even with moving the closures so might as well make another one?</p><p>In theory it's very simple, just a shaped waistband with finished edges and some hooks &amp; bars on the back, but we'll see how long it takes me to pattern, cut and sew one... Especially if I get distracted and put some embroidery on it or something. 😁</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sewing</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/HistoryBounding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HistoryBounding</span></a></p>

Sini Tuulia<p>Attempting to use up all this random black cotton lace I bought some time ago, and this mystery cotton fabric I found in my stash that I dislike the texture of... My current plan is that I have the framework of the guimpe (Edwardian garment that is like a top that is faking being a blouse, bodice or vest, to wear under open jackets) in this cotton and then will mostly cut it away to make it insertion lace instead, but... I hate this fabric. 😆 </p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sewing</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/HistoryBounding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HistoryBounding</span></a></p>
Sini Tuulia<p>What I should be doing: Ironing, tidying up, feeding myself<br>What I've planned on doing but have been prevented by outside factors: Making reasonable and useful underwear and shirts<br>What I'm thinking of instead: "Do I have enough black cotton voile and random lace to make a black petticoat?"</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sewing</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/HistoryBounding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HistoryBounding</span></a></p>
Lauma Pret 🕸️<p>Perks of wearing a corset: it is ok to tie a lightweight petticoat with a string. This semi-contemporary silk skirt had fabric encased elastic waistband, but there was something terribly wrong with the tensions, because as soon as I started actually wearing it the waistband started tearing itself both off the skirt and apart. I substituted that disaster with simple folded linen strip and a piece of string. Not the high class tailoring, but I'm short of spoons, it'll do. <a href="https://toot.lv/tags/HistoryBounding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HistoryBounding</span></a> <a href="https://toot.lv/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sewing</span></a></p>
Elena ``of Valhalla''<p>I've just started handsewing a backpack, so I don't really need another handsewing project, right?</p><p>well…</p><p>the backpack is at a stage where I have to think, and today I'm not really able to think, and also it's somewhat heavy sewing, and sometimes I'd prefer to do something lighter, so my plan was to have a second project to alternate it with.</p><p>something quick and easy, right? of course not :D</p><p>what about dealing with 4.5 meters of lightweight fabric, hemming all of it and then bringing it down to 36ish cm? That's more like it :D</p><p>I've decided to make a shirt by following the instructions for a 16th century hemd, except in cotton voile, and a bit shorter so that I can tuck it into my jeans if I want.</p><p><a href="https://katafalk.wordpress.com/2012/06/26/patternmaking-for-the-kampfrau-hemd-chemise/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">katafalk.wordpress.com/2012/06…</a></p><p>Current stage: hemming all of the top edge.</p><p><a href="https://social.gl-como.it/search?tag=sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sewing</span></a> <a href="https://social.gl-como.it/search?tag=handsewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>handsewing</span></a> <a href="https://social.gl-como.it/search?tag=historyBounding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>historyBounding</span></a></p>
draco<p>Today's sewing: I made another 18th century-style tie-on pocket. (I have one, and it turns out the wearing experience might be better if I distribute the weight onto two pockets.)</p><p>Also, I patched a hole in a skirt that's in the making (I'm using an old duvet cover for my first experiment with 18th century-inspired skirts, and that fabric has a few holes and threadbare places).</p><p>Also: Zipper foot for the win, and I made some progress with an apron.</p><p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sewing</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/HistoryBounding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HistoryBounding</span></a></p>
Lauma Pret 🕸️<p>My dermatologist was delightfully self-aware: "It is easy for doctors to suggest, but not everybody has the ability to comply. You have to figure out for yourself, how much you can, but it would be best to iron all your adjacent underwear..."<br>Me, in my head: well, well, well, ironing linen shifts might be even doable.<br><a href="https://toot.lv/tags/HistoryBounding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HistoryBounding</span></a> <a href="https://toot.lv/tags/HistoricalMeetsContemporary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HistoricalMeetsContemporary</span></a></p>
Sini Tuulia<p>For those of you for whom it brings delight: A little gif with a spin and a little dance!</p><p>I really do quite enjoy the cinnamon linen skirt I made a little while back. 🧡 </p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/HistoryBounding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HistoryBounding</span></a></p>
Sini Tuulia<p>Meanwhile. I cleaned and then changed out to a fresh and ironed everything, so now for a blissful moment there's nothing on the floor and everything I'm wearing is nice and crisp!
