See what I did there?  Hmm?  I’ll get me coat…

But before I go, I hope you appreciate that I just trussed myself up into my corset SINGLEHANDEDLY in order to regale you with these pics.

Stand in awe oh mortals.

And Oscar wanted to join in

Now I need to crack on with the African cotton version…

  5. These us stunning! I never heard of steam punk until I read your blog and now I think I must’ve lead a sheltered life as it’s everywhere. I must be expensive for the majority who don’t sew.

    1. Actually, most do seem to sew, and it’s quite the thing to brag about bargain hunting in charity shops, and re-making. Crafts and creativity are very highly prized. There are plenty of people selling their designs too of course, or taking commissions. Big business!

  6. Holy majoly – that’s serious sleeves. Wow. This ain’t no leg of mutton, this is a proper ham. Fantastic. I bow to your magnificence, oh sewing machine empress.
    So, will you be using this for steampunk? Or are you moving into reenactment as well?

      3. It’s is, yet these days it often is not. And lambs are fed until they don’t resemble lambs…so a nice old sheep might have a slaughtered weight of 30 kg. That’s still less than half a pig. 🙄 Oink.🐷 Baa.🐑

  7. I can see why you love Steampunk, you look great in this and I hope you have many occasions to wear it, it should be strutted. Seriously though, there’s a lot of accomplished fitting and sewing going on here, your waist looks tiny doesn’t it, great job.

  10. Cor Blimey! *In full Dick van Dyke mode* That blouse is a bit of a stunner. It reminds me of the costumes in Mary Poppins. I love it, this gives Miss Scarlett’s the “best fashion use of a curtain” award a run for its money. Xx

  11. OH MY GOD look at those amazing sleeves! And I am totally loving the yoke with the little pleats underneath. What a beautiful garment 🙂
