Two years old photo. The most intricate and ornate dress I have ever made.

[cheapieclassic]

🍄Reversible adventurecore bodice!🍄

(Also, the debut of my beautiful grey linen dress made of a tablecloth, more on her later)

Grey thrifted linen and rust thrifted cotton, done up in my own armhole princess seam bodice pattern with bias lacing loops and tie. Time to never wear anything else ever again :")

The answer is, yes, I can make my dummy look better☺️ One super stretchy velvet skirt, and a little time later ... It's not perfect; I could have smoothed out the shoulders a bit, but it's perfectly fine for pictures, which is really all I need at the moment! The bodice looks quite nice on her🤗 #atelier #bodice #corded #historicalcostume #historicalfashion #historicalsewing #historybounding #corsettop #waistcoat #victorian #sewistsofinstagram #sew #sewing #handsewing #handmade #dressform #dressmaking #greylinen #bonedbodice #buttons #buttonsbuttonsbuttons #18thcentury #elegantclothes #velvet https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckfs_Pquu5L/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

historical cloak/cape resources

howdy!

these are some links/resources I used to get some inspiration & information for making a historical-inspired cape/cloak/capelet/mantle. i’m working on 2 right now, more posts to come :)

Historical cloak resources & some notes:

 Brunley & Trowbridge - 18th century short cloak tutorial (they sell the pattern for it) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czsqRnN1ENQ&t=0s

>very few wool shortcloaks are fully lined, sometimes the hood is lined in silk but not always

>2 part video (1st linked)

Bernadette Banner - Reconstructing an Edwardian Mantle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUYLt3QxlDo 

>made from silk & more complicated in patterning than the apparently common half-circle short cloak

New year, new stays! I haven’t done much this year sewing-wise because I've had not one, not two, but three job changes, one of which was transitioning from an escape room game master to a college-level computer science teacher. Needless to say, managing to make this while my life is turning upside down was quite a feat in an of itself. Let’s celebrate the small victories! #stays #18thcentury #couture #sewing #historicalsewing #robealafrancaise #sewingproject #foundationgarments https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm2GecZJA4P/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Dearest Readers, The Ton are abuzz with the latest gossip and I must simply share with you the delights of such occasion. Miss Naomi has been enjoying her new era. Her smile and joy has been returning especially with these ongoing changes. Inevitably, those who know her, always know there’s tea to be spilt. She’s being cordially invited to 8 weddings during summer and she’s only halfway through… Will she be courted by a strikingly dashing, good-looking duke, with a heart of gold? Will he burn for her? Who knows? Will she finally take bloom? Time will tell… Yours Truly, Lady Whistledown ⚜️🐝⚜️🐝 #books #bsdcity #rumahmungil #regencyromance #serpongbsd #georgian #surabayaolshop #kursisofamewah #senseandsensibility #arisan #furnitureyogyakarta #booklover #kursisofa #interiorfurniture #malaysia #sofaminimalis #regencydress #historicalsewing #literature #furniture #perioddramas #mantap #grahafamilysurabaya #romance #book #reenactment #mejabelajar #modernmom #sofamodern #thcenturyfashion (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfTsi_jqfi0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Fresh out of the press this morning, the full collection of the 1894 Fashion Plates. This is slightly larger than the miniature which will be released shortly. Both are limited editions, made of fine waxed, hand marbled paper sides with leather spine. The end papers are Ingres and the photographs of 52 hand coloured lithographs of fashion plates are printed with care onto 120g paper. #handboundbooks #handmadepaper #craftbookbinding #bookloversofinstagram #fashionhistoriansbook #historicalsewing #Victorianfashion https://www.instagram.com/p/CeQseZjIS26/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

hello :^)

howdy!

this is a fun ~intro post~ for myself.

i’m an artist and i have been posting for awhile on my art instagram, @artsklein​. however i have been wanting to document a lot more casually & with more ease than with instagram, which I want to keep to more finished stuff and occasional story updates. but here i can type a bunch of stuff, make more frequent (theoretically lol) and generally more informative posts & documentation.

so hi! a bit about me to kick off the blog:

name: kira

pronouns: she/they

age: 21 

college student (currently on a full-time internship so I have more time and money than usual lol)

major: civil engineering w/ sustainability certificate

live in Pennsylvania USA

art focuses: currently primarily sewing!! sewing sewing sewing. I sew clothes and plushies, costumes and clothing, just all sorts of stuff. i’ve been very into historical sewing (mostly content because i don’t have the capacity to actually recreate historical stuff right now). i also do embroidery, various fiber art (like crochet and quilting and braiding/macramé), drawing/sketching (pencil, colored pencil, charcoal, oil pastel, markers, pen art, lots of stuff), painting (acrylic, watercolor, gouache), jewelry/beading/wire art, sculptural stuff, and generally just i like to get my hands on lots of art media & styles. 

very into mending, upcycling, sustainability, visible mending, that sort of thing. 

this is tumblr so I gotta list some content i’m a fan of: lord of the rings/the hobbit (very into tolkein’s work), over the garden wall (love halloween/autumn vibes), what we do in the shadows, studio ghibli films, lots more

i watch a lot of youtube (especially sewists, diy, vintage/antique stuff, and science stuff)

gotta rediscover how to nestle into a tumblr community (i spent a lot of time on this site years ago on a different account haha) but for now just gonna post some stuff and see where it goes :^)
