A very long witch post
Alright, cozy up, grab a hot drink, this is gonna be a very long post detailing the Witch costume. Originally I was going to break this into smaller parts, but I have a bit of a time constraint, so it’s all gonna be complied here! This has been a long journey, so I’m trying to…

Ruffin’ Around
I knew this was going to be a time consuming process, but I am excited to make a ruff. As I have said before, I think the Tudors had the most fun in terms of historical clothing, and ruffs are just RIDICULOUS. They are just a bizarre statement piece, and I just love it. For…

Tudor Bodice
Here I go sewing again… The tech skill this time is the tudor bodice! This would be worn over the stay that was made in the previous post. I have fallen in love with Tudor fashion turning this unit – its so fun and flirty, espeically compared to Victorians later. Couldn’t imagine wearing this day…

Underpinnings – The Stay
My stay for the Macbeth costume I’m making is practically done! So I thought I’d talk about the process thus far. I already spoke about making the block, but then its time to turn that block into the shape of our stay! Its a half math, and half “i dunno that looks about right?” method.…

An extreme example of this is a story I…

Witch In Progress
I’m sorry for starting this with a silly pun… I couldn’t help myself. Moving on… I wanted to share my process so far on working out how I want to design the witch from the Macbeth design I chose. There will be images of my process, as well as me annotating what I am thinking,…

Start Of A New Unit
Unit 8 begins! This unit covers making a tudor bodice, a pair of stays (which is actually just one item – essentially a corset. A fellow classmate told me to remember it like a pair of trousers, but you have two legs, not two torsos… It still occasionally takes me off guard!) as well as…

Final Bachelorette
Hey, did you notice that I had been spelling Bachelorette wrong this entire time?? I can’t believe I didn’t notice… Well yes I can, the reason is in my websites sub-text! Anyway, here is our final result. There is also a video that Sonya made to accompany the album, but as of right now I…

Victorian Bodice!
Part of this unit was to create a victorian bodice. I knew that this was going to be challenging, but PHEW it was even more-so than I expected. I lost count of how many needles in my machine snapped during this! I am so happy with how it’s turned out though. Through the slides below…
