- Thinking of warm summer weather and finally sharing the 1933 archive @mccallspatterncompany dress I made last summer with fabric from @farmhousefabrics! I made minimal changes to the pattern and found it comfy and cool. I just published a blog post sharing more details (link in my bio)! . . . #virtualsewingcircle #sewing #sewingproject #sewingblogger #instasew #memade #vintagesewing #1930ssewing #1933dress #mccalls7153 #mccallspatterns #mccallspatterncompanyMaking progress on my 1896 cycling ensemble. Here’s the front of the bodice with the straps applied and buttons/buttonholes done. . . . #sewing #sewingproject #sewingblogger #instasew #1890ssewing #historicalsewing #victoriansewing #cyclingcostume #bicyclingcostume #historicalcostume #historiccostumeShowing off the #scrooppatterns #henriettamaria dress I made before winter set in! Still waiting for beach or black marble background photos, but this will do in the meantime. . . . #virtualsewingcircle #scrooppatterns #henriettamaria #scroophenriettamaria #instasew #sewingblogger #sewing #sewingproject #memadeI started a new historical project in November—a cycling ensemble from 1896 based on an extant one at The Met (except with fully bifurcated bloomers instead of bloomers with a skirt front—more on that later). This is my current progress on the jacket for the ensemble. . . . #sewing #sewingproject #sewingblogger #instasew #1890ssewing #historicalsewing #victoriansewing #cyclingcostume #bicyclingcostume #historicalcostume #historiccostumeHolding out my wand hand.... sometimes I wish I had magic! Originally called my cotton candy stripe dress, it was renamed the Fortescue Frock on this trip. The dress used New Look 6143 for the bodice with fabric from Farmhouse Fabrics. There are more details about it on my blog: www.thequintessentialclothespen.com/a-fortescue-frock . . . #sewing #sewingproject #sewingblogger #instasew #memade #newlook6143 #newlookpattern #newlookpattern6143 #farmhousefabrics #virtualsewingcircleDreaming of warm weather even though it snowed 6” last night. Snow is much more fun to play in than shovel! This is my completed cotton candy stripe dress from the summer! It’s made using New Look 6143 for the bodice with a gathered skirt and fabric from Farmhouse Fabrics. . . . #sewing #sewingproject #sewingblogger #instasew #memade #newlook6143 #newlookpattern #newlookpattern6143 #farmhousefabrics #virtualsewingcircle
