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)_/¯

Just some additional photos of the 18th Century silk shirt, including how it looks under a vest. 👍🏻

New video is live! I sewed an 18th Century Silk Shirt featuring natural fabric dyeing, sewing, and an update to my increasing Pirate wardrobe. 🏴‍☠️⁠
