A new video is live! Join me as I talk about drafting a button down shirt pattern from a shirt I own and sew this new shirt together. ⁠

Finally posting some finished object photos of an 18th century shirt that I handsewed out of some inherited Grandma stash of thin, white cotton. I wear this thing all the time. I still have a little bit of pulling at the shoulders, but I think I've figured out what's causing that. I'm also fairly certain that I'll be making another one of these in linen for a future project, so I've added notes to my diagram of the pieces for future reference.

I zoomed through the construction of this vest and didn't stop to take photos. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

New video is live! I made a Peaky Blinders inspired newsboy cap on my Singer 128 from 1926. I had a lot of fun with editing this video, so go check it out. :D⁠

Starting a new vest for myself. I got this scrap of blue grey wool (42" x 1yd 25") off of an ebay listing and I'm 95% sure I can get all the pieces I need out of this. For reference, my garments generally fit between 40" and 44" at the chest.

I'm working on another 18th Century shirt while I'm putting together the next video. This photo is from about a week ago, but it's been a while and this is what I have on hand. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
