Pink Indienne print jacket

I finished my 18th century jacket! The lovely Sarah was able to get me some extra pink silk ribbon so I pleated it and just had enough to go around the front and neckline!

It's on my form with my pleated petticoat right now. I haven't had the time/energy to actually take pics of me in the last few things I've made. Oh well.

Also, my closet is *really* starting to get crowded! That's no good! On the plus side I have a pretty good 18th century wardrobe right now...

1790s again

I'm thinking I made a good guess on making my version of this gown have a crossed over front:




This plate looks like a very similar gown - the sleeves are in the same style.  It's dated just one year before the teal one.  I like this gown too! Maybe I'll make in this color too? :-)


Vintage buckle

I bought this on Ruby Lane - I couldn't resist it.  What do you think, 1830s?

Beatle shirts

Several years ago I made these shirts inspired by Beatle suits for my band, when we played a Beatles themed gig.  I don't have pics of the other Pepper ones in progress, but you get the idea! :-)

I have awesome friends!

Look what Penwiper made me!  She's so sweet. I don't know how she did it, but it's so gorgeous! She knows I love this particular 18th century portrait. :D
