Hi! I love your historical pants. Did you use an existing pattern, or did you draft your own? And if so... Do you sell patterns at all? I'd love to make myself a pair but I haven't learned enough to make my own patterns yet
Hello ! I got this question a lot so I hope you won't mind if I use it as a springboard to make a general public reply about it ! For reference, I started sewing a year and a half ago. I don't have any formal training and started from zero, so I kind of just rely on enthusiasm and trial and error.
For most of my projects, I use a mix of patterns and draping. I mostly do men's clothing and the patterns I find don't always match my body type exactly, so I rarely get to use them as is. I'm fairly tall and narrow so usually the smaller men's sizes are a good base, but not all patterns include sizes small enough, and there's still much to fix for me in terms of chest length, leg length, thighs, etc. That'll be something to keep in mind if you're smaller or more hourglass shaped for instance.
For the fall front trousers, it was kind of an impulse project, so I didn't work from a book and I bought a pdf pattern from Laughing Moon Mercantile. It was very useful to construct the front, which is quite complex by my second-year-of-sewing standards, but it only came in fairly big sizes so there was a lot of alterations to do pretty much everywhere else. Also worth noting is that the pdf is made for an A0 format, and although you can print it at home on a mosaic of A4 paper using Acrobat, it's impossible to select which "tile" section of the A0 page you want to print. The pdf pattern contains many options and printing everything to get just the pieces I needed was just too wasteful to do. Instead, I printed only the pattern pieces from the first page, and drafted/copied the missing pieces from other pages myself directly on pattern paper. If you're willing to go through the printing and resizing hassle, it's a great pattern with very clear and exhaustive informations on construction and options for both historical and modern notions.
I picked that one because I wanted to do trousers specifically and it matched my needs best with many options to potentially combine, but if you're looking to do shorter breeches or just want to use it for the fall front, patterns are fairly easy to find on etsy or elsewhere. I like Reconstructing History because their smallest men's size works great for me and they cover a huge range of eras and styles. Unfortunately the instructions don't contain as many diagrams and are sometimes a bit more difficult to follow. I almost never buy paper patterns so I can't recommend any. When it comes to actual historical garments that aren't like, halloween costumes, I find it very difficult to encounter paper patterns and I only find what I'm looking for in books or pdf patterns. I find that both is best where you're a beginner ; the book gives great insight, and the pdf is a good base to work off. I'm still fairly new so I only have a few books (some of them physical, a lot of them pdfs, because they're expensive and sometimes out of print) but they're great classics and they help me a lot :
The Cut of Men's Clothes, 1600-1900 by Nora Waugh 17th Century Men's Dress Patterns by Braun, Costiglio, North, Thornton and Tiramani The Medieval Tailor's Assistant: Common Garments 1100-1480 by Sarah Thursfield Patterns of Fashion - Books 3 and 4 by Janet Arnold
Sorry this was so long ! If you're a beginner reading this, keep in mind I just threw myself at this with no prior experience quite recently and I'm having a lot of fun so go for it and don't be afraid to make mistakes and start over ! Good luck :)

I see that you're watching Shoresy - not only is its origin Letterkenny filmed in my hometown, but my best friend worked on both shows dressing the actors! I was insanely jealous because she got to hang out with giant hockey players and WAYNE.

Psst. Do you know anyone who makes fanvids? Because I heard a song that hit me so hard with MASH feelings that I almost combusted in the car. Barenaked Ladies 'Helicopters'
I've seen fanvids from @theblob1958, @radarsmenagerie, @thelatecaptainpierce, and @by-thunderunder. Followers, feel free to reply/reblog with additional blog recs :)

So normally I wouldn't brag because ~vulnerability~ but I wrote fic for the first time in at least ten years. My best friend and I both have a crush on Klinger, and her birthday was coming up, so I wrote this for her (and for myself, let's be honest here). The vision: sucking his brain out through his dick. Enjoy!

A commission for @sweetsaltygingerbitch on onyx, an abandoned lighthouse and a desert that once was a seabed. Shipwrecks, sand and a sea of blue wildflowers - the only blue here now. And the storm is coming again

Hi beautiful! Thanks for offering up your Tumblr, I'm surprised i wasn't following you already! Your blog is right up my alley :) do you have a favourite Brother from the BDB verse? Mine is either Wrath or Butch. (I'm Kathryn, i reviewed your 'breathe in breathe out' fic lol)
hey hey! So glad you came by :D. OMG, a favourite brother??? I’d honestly have to say Vishous. He’s so damn clever. He’s like the hot nerd of the group and I love that. But yes I love Butch too! And I love both of their character development.
Mary is def my favourite of the girls, but I love Xhex too because she’s so freaking badass.
Thanks again for reading and commenting and being so awesome! I just followed you as well - feel free to msg me about BDB anytime! I love talking about the. Though, fair warning, I haven’t read The Beast yet. If you have - did you like it?
For everyone else -> Breathe In Breathe Out (a dark destiel fic with a lot of hurt dean and hurt cas, but they help eachother survive and grow and fall into love, and there’s a great happy ending i promise).

The gif of the two people kissing through plastic wrap is from the show Pushing Daisies. The guy is able to bring people back to life with a touch but if he touches them again their dead for good. Since he brought his girlfriend back to life, if they again she’s a goner so they come up with creative ways to kiss and touch without truly touching.
Thank you for letting me know! I’ll have to give it a watch.
Thank you also to @sweetsaltygingerbitch and @doubtingsalmon for also stepping up and letting me know!
I hope you lovelies are having a wonderful day~
