A little Straw Hat
To make this little headpiece, I simply took apart a store-bought hat, and redecorated it.

The Patriot's Riding Habit
I've wanted to make a riding habit for a while, and finally started one a few months ago, but then life happened and I didn't work on it for a long time, then I decided to finish it for our upcoming trip to Colonial Williamsburg *s queals* . This will be my fourth trip! I decided to make the habit look like the generals uniforms, so it's kind of a cosplay project. I draped the entire thing to myself which had it's trouble spots, but was enjoyable just the same. Enough talking - here are the pictures! Ready to cut out the waistcoat from the drafted pattern Waistcoat lining with puffy shirt (the sleeves on the puffy shirt are ridiculously puffy :D ) And now with the fabric And then I started draping the coat. I'm sorry the lighting is so bad! I didn't take any pictures of the construction of the coat, but here it is after I added the sleeves And here it is after I had to modify the sleeves......
Stays in a Day!
Stays in a Day! (Or two afternoons, actually.) I've really needed a pair of stays that fit. I've been wearing my second attempt, but they were two big! Attempt three I didn't finish, because I could tell before I was halfway done that it would be to big. On take four, I finally got a pair that fit me (Sigh of relief). I used white cotton twill, and cable ties to bone it. I also used less boning then the last time because I didn't really need that much, and I was running out. :) Here are the pictures: On day one, I cut out the fabric pieces and sewed them together. On day two, I boned it, added the grommets, and bound it. I love my new stays!
