frualeydisWhat I sewed last year:
For me:
1. A 1950s jacket with pillbox hat from teh most hideous fake fur in neon pink and purple one could imagine. I made the pattern from scratch, like most of the patterns I used.
2. a checked beret that I've maybe used once:
3. A 1950s-style wrap dress which opens in front:
4. A house dress with a novelty trim with coffee making utensils - thus naming it "the coffee dress"
5. A new skirt and a flounce for the top of my red velvet corset for the Tip the Velvet Valentine's party:
6. The Margareta Leijonhufvud outfit. In this photo the shirt wasn't made yet and I hadn't done anything with my hair, but still:
7. A checked 1940s dress:
8. Well, it's not sewing, but I did knit this jumper from 1934:
9. A cotton print 18th century dress with a striped pettiocat. Both half linen-half cotton.
10. A yellow cotton 1940s summer suit:
11. A sleeveless blouse with ric-rac trim and a navy blue wrap skirt.
12. A reversible bolero jacket, 1950s style, here worn with a dress I made last year:
13. A very simple 1940s summer dress
14. A hat, from braid I got from a place mat and some fake flowers.
15. A 1940s style dress (from a tweaked 1970s pattern) from cotton seersucker in blue and lilac-pink linen.
16. Another 1940s dress, from the pattern I got from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ashariel last year. I changed it a little, but not much.
17. A 16th century red wool kirtle with matching jacket. No photo of me wearing the jacket unfortunately.
18. A grey half circle skirt, with some extra pleats at the back. From thin wool.
19. A winter version of the dress in #15. From a thin wool in glencheck.
20. A 1940s wrap front dress in viscose with velvety spots.
21. A red version of the same pattern (self-drafted of course)
22. A dark blue 1940s (oh yeah? how surprising) style viscose dress with sailor collar.
23. The dark green 1930s-40s dinner dress.
For Maja:
1. Another 1950s wrap dress.
3. And a pink and red striped dress:
4. A 16th century german dress in yellow wool with red velvet trim, a brocade gollar and a cap from striped linen.
5. A Saxon court gown in the same materials as Vendela's, which she hasn't worn so that I have any photos of her in it (she was asleep during court in Visby).
6. A 16th century dress from thin brown wool. With tie in sleeves, which she almost never wore.
7. A pale lilac thin wool dress in a sort of generic looser 14th century dress, made from one of my old gowns. Plus a couple of shifts.
8. A blue wool 16th century jacket. Sadly I only have a photo from the back.
9. A gingerbread girl dress.
For Valeria:
1. I remade one of my old, old renaissance dresses for her:
2. A smocked shift with green embroidery on the smock. No photo.
3. A 1560s dress in dark red wool with guards in black wool.
4. A green flemish gown/coat to wear over her 16th century clothes when it's cold. Like Vendela's gown from the sam fabric made from an old outgrown tunic.
For Vendela:
1. A gothic fitted dress in navy thin wool, fully lined in lilac-pink thin linen.
2. An over gown in the same style, made from an old tunic in thick wool.
3. A Saxon court gown. And a smocked shift with embrodiery in red on the smock.

Date: 2011-01-01 02:42 pm (UTC)I know of a couple historic costumer types who only recently had the realization that... oh... they could make modern clothes to wear daily too!! It's pretty funny. And then here you are with this enormous wardrobe of awesome. I love your dress sense and want to grow up to be you. :)
