Sewing plans...

I have new sewing project in the works....

If you know anything about me, you know that I have a passion for two time periods.... Regency and Medieval. They are two extremely different time periods but what can I say, some of my favorite stories (Robin Hood, Pride and Prejudice) come from those time periods. :) 

Anyway this is the outfit that I am planning on making next... though I will have to make some modifications on parts of it. :P 

This pattern has a apron a shirt a corset (outside vest) and a cap. I'm not sure how I would look in the cap... hummm.... maybe....

Have a merry day,

Hannah E.

Working away... working away....

I sure have been busy lately but I have been enjoying it at the same time. Between working a job and school most of my time is taken up with work and studying. :)

I have been trying to find out a way to do more home sewing. The problem tends to be the money issue. :) So I am planning on taking a portion of each of my paychecks and putting it aside for sewing projects! There are so many things that I would love to make if I could justify spending the money. 

Here are some things that I would love to make:

                                       Maryanne's purple dress from Sense and Sensibility. I think that a light purple would be lovely. :)

 

                           

Isn't this a lovely cape? I'm not sure where I would find a pattern like this but I am willing to try. :) 

I know this is not a very good view of the dress but I love the dress that Georgian is wearing as she plays piano. It's white and has a bit of a sheer sleeve. 

Here is a clearer view of the front. It's strange in a way, now that I am looking at it I see that it has buttons on the front of it. I have not seen a regency gown with buttons on it. 

Anyway just wanted to let you know that I am still looking forward to starting some sewing projects. I have one that I am still trying to finish. I'll update on that later when I get a chance.

Have a blessed day! 

Hurriedly yours,

Hannah E.

P.S.- Which project do you think that I should work on first? Really any of them would be good. =)

As I go into fashion design school....

I am looking forward to designing a dress like....

 

I am so excited....

Joyfully yours,

How it all began....

Dear readers,

 I have always enjoyed sewing, ever since I was young in fact. When I was young I used to enjoy printing pictures out of the book 'Sewing  Machine Fun' and then with my mother's sewing machine trace over the lines. It was great fun! As I got older I began to help my mom to sew my own dresses. 

 As time went on it became something that I did because I LOVED the dresses from the Jane Austen movies. I  used to just sit and drool over the lovely gowns and jackets the privileged women were wearing. I  just had to make some to wear myself.

 As I continue to grow older I have not lost my interest in sewing, in fact I am currently preparing to start an online sewing business.

 Here are some things that I am going to be selling:

~ Comfortable homemade Regency gowns or other dresses.
~ Aprons for everyday use.
~ Other crafts such as beading, etc.

All my wares are homemade and will be made with care and finished nicely to the best of my abilities.

Stay tuned for pictures and more details.
