If you wear a 9 1/2 or 10 shoe...
...check out this eBay auction for brown Victorian boots at a great price! This is an Oak Tree Farms style that's no longer in production. If they were a size 11, I'd already have snapped them up.

Tunic Comission
I'm very behind in posting about recent costume events, so naturally I'm going to push that off a bit longer and share a quick post about a tunic I recently made for a friend's son.

Drive By Post
I've been busy sewing over this long weekend. It's basically the only time I can really put the pedal to the medal and marathon sew, what with 4 consecutive days off. I've been working on some new pieces for the guild's next event, Dressing for the Holidays. I volunteered to get dressed and show all the hidden layers of a bustle-era outfit, so I ( Read more... ) -
