Good morning folks! I have been itching to make a nice boldly RED medieval dress for ages, and I'm so glad I did! The princess seams of Jean Fouquet's Madonna have long intrigued me, so it was fun to try patterning out a late medieval dress in that style. I also gave lacing rings a fair shake - I've done...

Hello lovely friends! First off, my sincerest apologies for not getting this to you all early, like I normally do: I was up late into the very wee-est hours of the morning trying to get this edit finished in time for the grand opening/release of the Costume Industry Coalition's #HamiltonSpencer pattern today. So sleepy! But I think the video is worth it :D
TLDR: p...

Hello and welcome to my Patreon!
Since I deviated a bit from standard practice for a Chemise à la Reine, I thought folks might like to see how that looks flat 'on paper', in case you'd like to give it a try yourself. It worked for me, so I'm curious if it will work for others! The main body piece is essentially a big rectangle and seemed like a waste of paper to print, ...

I am hosting a virtual game night tomorrow starting at 3 pm PST and you are invited! The hangout will be on Zoom, and I have Drawful 2 for us to play. It's a very fun drawing game - don't worry, you don't need to be any good at drawing to participate! You will need two devices to play though, 1 laptop/computer for Zoom, and a phone to play the game. If you do not want to play,...

Hello my beautiful fellow Internet Apprentice folk! Some of you might have already heard me talking about this project, but here's the proper full introduction.
Updates: I am about half-way through the most recent round of mailings, some of you should have already received yours unless mail service has been temporarily halted in your area. I suspect service might be a ...
I think this bodice is lovely and I am going to try to drape a pattern for it with Costuming Drama at noon today! Come hang out and chat with us while we fumble through a new and exciting skill!
Here is the gown/bodice we are trying to drape: https://www.antique-gown.com/en/189...

It is that time of the month again: video posting day! (Yay, cheering sounds heard, woooo!)
I think that sometimes we are just so excited to get started on a new project, that we end up skipping over the all important mock-up stage. (I have certainly done just that a time or two in the past!) But I don't think I have even *once* made a mock-up that didn't improve the qu...
Hello to several new patrons this week! This week's video is a little more 'on brand', I hope you all enjoy!
2019-02-07 17:18:30 +0000 UTC View PostHello to my beloved patrons! I have been taking a look at my goals, tiers, rewards, and overall Patreon page, and I am realizing that I wrote a lot of this when I was still primarily writing blog posts, and mostly needing help with website fees and photography equipment. As I have gotten more and more into making videos of my sewing (and other) projects, I am realizing that I need to u...

Laces are a common accessory for all sorts of garments from 1400 c. and onward! Add a bit of extra pzazz with a shiny aglet at the ends!

The draping/patterning for the skirt went so much faster than the bodice! All the skirt footage has been recorded, so I'll start editing it this week!

Made from a real egg!
The video is a little un-polished, but as they say "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good enough." Fussing forever is how I end up never publishing a video!
Enjoy!
