It should be noted that I hate hand sewing, and hand sewing hates me! But its necessary at times. I just finished sewing the binding on to my sister's Elizabethan corset. It turned out okay, but it was a fight! I still have to put eyelets in it, but otherwise its ready to go. We took the pattern out of the Tudor Tailor and sized it up. The tabbed ( Read more... ) -
Embroidery
So, I didn't like how my first round of embroidery looked on the smock cuffs, so I tore it all out and started over. I'm liking the look of the chain stitch much better.

Smock Progress
I have 99% of my high-necked smock cut out and ready to go. The collar and the sleeves haven't been cut out yet, because I need to embroider them first. This is my first time doing hand embroidery for a project, so we'll see how it all goes. I'm hoping well, since the design is a relatively simple (but pretty) one!

Upcoming sewing stuff
So, I've finished my run of anime conventions for the summer (next officially planned con is Katsucon in February). And seeing as how I have a ton of free time now (since I'm not going to Pennsic this year) I decided I was going to tackle a new Elizabethan gown, from the skin out ( Read more... ) -

Admittedly, I had a panic attack about 25 minutes before getting into Columbus and that sucked (driving in big cities scares me so bad). But the rest of the weekend was awesome. Nobi looked adorable in the costume that I made for her. My costumes went over really well too. I ( Read more... ) -

That moment when you're so busy sewing / scrolling Tumblr that you forget LJ exists because you have a "new" (new-ish hand-me-down from the sister, who upgraded) computer and forgot your LJ password (and the email attached to it) so you couldn't sign in. Until today. XD Go me ( Read more... ) -
Holy Crap, I'm alive
I keep forgetting that I have this thing. Not that I think too many people are left on here. But still. All kinds of things have been happening on here, some of it good, some of it bad. The usual goes on - work, work, sewing, sewing, more sewing, even more sewing, conventions and SCA events, work, and so on. XD I lead a very "boring" life. Sorry ( Read more... ) -
Oh Yeah...
Oh yeah, I still have this thing. lol. Not much exciting going on in my life anymore. Not really. I think I've given up on Tekko for the most part. I go, and unless I'm either participating in the Masq, or helping with Craftsmanship judging, I'm just not having a whole lot of fun. Which is really the reason I go to cons. I kind of helped out with ( Read more... )
