Wandering.

As I promised in my last post

this one would be about some ( not all ) of the things that I have been doing during my hiatus.

This is my none historical post. That I am saving for the NEXT one...

#1.

Here fishy, fishy.

A beaded sperm whale pin.

The beads are sewn onto dark blue felt.

Since it is on felt this means it is very flexible...

#2.

There she blows!

Finally finished my whale wall hanging!

I am rather please with how it came out.

It has already come in handy many times.

#3.

I got to go to the coast!

#4.

Duplicates..

Do you know what these are?

 

That is right! they are a teeny,tiny working corset busk.
At this point you may be thinking- What do you need a tiny working corset busk for Kacie?

The answer would be

 a miniature replica of my 1902 corset for my doll, of course!

 

Yes, I made an almost exact replica of my corset, for my doll.

Whoops.

One to many eyelets on the left side....

#5.

I had a Birthday!

My Mom and Dad got me a new sewing machine a few months back.

( which I have already posted about.)

But my Mom thought that she would give me something ON my birthday.

Since I am ALWAYS "stealing" her Quilting ruler, she decided that it was time I had one of my own :)

It has already seen much use. 

#6.

More pattern drafting.

This time for modern clothing.

#7.

The most exciting thing.

I got my Wedding ring quilt in the quilting frame!!!!!

It took about two tries getting the layers all basted but I got it done!......

Well. Not DONE, just in the frame....But still!!!

I can almost see a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel!

The next few posts shall be about all my historical projects that I have been working on...

 

Happy Wanderings~

1904 Waist

Well.
Yes I know I haven't blogged for a long time.
Life being far to busy plus the up loader on this thing makes it to where it takes all day to upload one post. I will try to be better in the future.

1904 waist #1.
I finished the bodice a few months ago, and have worn it many times.
I can't remember what pattern I used....sorry, if I remember I will put it up.
The fabric is cotton calico, light brown with green print.

It turned out OK. The thing I don't like the most about this bodice

is the fact that the arm holes are far to small. After wearing it all day, when I take it off I have chaffing around my shoulders and arms...This can easily be fixed on my next bodice.

Got to love that great S curve.

I did the more authentic way of putting the lining in with the waist band.

since the skirt goes over the bodice, I had to think of a way to make so the skirt would still be supported and the "puff" in the front would stay all day even after running around playing games.

I solved this problem by going the authentic way. Fancy that, they knew what they where doing!

In my next post I will be doing a recape of all I have been doing while being lazy and not posting anything up in the past month...

Happy Sewing~
