I've started a new Bodice and Irish Dress for Lady Renee Buchannan. Hope to have them done within the week.

Also did the handwork on the Picadils for the Pelican Gown. The bodice alone is going to take a while with all the pearling, sewing on the jewels, and so forth.

Lady Renee Buchannan's Irish Dress....


MAde from Cotton Velveteen that Lady Renee ordered from eBay. There is close to 4 1/2 yards left. The swirled trim is from JoAnn's i bought in Dubuque in January.



A closeup view of the fabric and trim.

The skirt is 3--44" wide panels with a 2" hem and 5/8" seam at the waist. This way, Lady Renee can wear her Buchannan Underskirt and a farthingale with it. I will be taking this to the Shoe Repair next week when her other Bodice is finished.

Ooh, purdy!  Outstanding work, as always, Lady K!

I've been making a toile for knee-length spats - I'm discovering the joy of steampunk.  Since I'm fluffy, my calves don't match size wise, & there is a definite curve from ankle to knee, this has been an exercise in aggrevation.  BUT if this works out, there's not much to them as far as sewing skills are concerned.
Sveethot!

I wish you were here - pattern making/altering is not & never will be a forte of mine.  Amazingly, there isn't any suitable fashion fabric in my stash so I'll go shopping next week for fabric, trim, buttons, etc.  The good news is they only take about 2/3 yard of fabric, lining, and interlining so a relatively cheap project if they flop.
Sveethot!

I love it, love it, love it already!  I can't wait to get it in person.  It is beautiful.  Thank you, Lady Kathleen. ;D

This is beautiful! Absolutely gorgeous trim!

But the scary part is I think I once made a dress out of the same fabric as your drapes. :-[

Such amazing work!  I'm almost scared to post anything I've started work on...

But, with a new season comes a new dress.  After watching that new Seeker series (such a guilty pleasure!) I was inspired by that green dress and want one of my own... only shorter sleeved.  I'm still debating which sleeve (which is why in the mock up photos, I have two different sleeves).  The cotton mock up pulls funny in the lacing, but I think with heavier fabric it'll be alright.  Still might end up with a small line of interfacing...

Never mind that it's only the bodice... and the shorts...



the hood is my pride and joy right now.  Drafted that myself by guessing the shape and measurements.  Came out lovely the first try!
