One of my dear friends started a March-Craft along on her <a href="http://emalineswardrobe.blogspot.com/">Blog</a>!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was very excited to be able to take part in it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know I am cutting it a bit short on the deadline, but hey, it is still March!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The category was "winter accessory". So many possibility's! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since I am working now, I was unable to do what I had first thought of, due to the lack of time. But what I did come up with I have been wanting to make for a long time now and I am happy that I was finally able to do it!</div>

Gosh has it been a year!</div>
<div align="center">
And it's only just March yet...</div>
<div align="center">
I feel as though I have not had time to breath let alone post anything. </div>
<div align="center">
I have been busy with so many things. Both good and bad.</div>
<div align="center">
January- Bad. 'nough said.</div>
<div align="center">
February- Crazy-</div>
<div align="center">
At the beginning of the month I was job hunting ( woohoo.. )</div>
<div align="center">
Then on Feb 11th my little peanut poochie went to doggie heaven.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She had been very sick during January.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Trip to the vet, two weeks of hand feeding her a liquid diet, many other things...</div>
<div align="center">
Finally in Feb we thought she might be pulling out of it. She was eating an all kibble diet for the first time in two years. she was even spunky! ( see photo above!! )</div>
<div align="center">
But then on the weekend of the 9th, 10th we noticed that she was not her normal self, not wanting to eat, not settling down.</div>
<div align="center">
Then on Sunday night she started getting sick. I stayed up with her till the wee hours of the morning.</div>
<div align="center">
Monday, she was not well at all. Finally at around 8:50 p.m. she passed away from this world surrounded by her family.</div>
<div align="center">
I will be the first to admit that it has hit me rather hard. She had been apart of our family for more then half my life. I grew up with her at my side, snorting, and wagging her tail to let me know she was there for me.</div>
<div align="center">
She truly was my best friend.</div>
<div align="center">
~</div>
<div align="center">
With her passing I have had time to reflect. And it truly feels as though with her dieing, that chapter of my life is over and I am now beginning the next part of my life. I am sad that she is gone, especially on days like this where I am home alone all day. But at the same time, it is time to move on.</div>
<div align="center">
I am both excited and scared to death for this next chapter.<br />
~</div>
<div align="center">
Peanut had died on a Monday ( great way to start a week I know.. ) </div>
<div align="center">
I decided that I would take a break from job hunting. Feeling like I just needed a week to regroup and get my self together.<br />
The next week I pulled my big girl panties up and went back out into the big bad world of job hunting.<br />
I can't count how many places I tried. When finally on my way home I just started praying <br />
( beg is more like it.. ) <br />
"Lord. Please Lord, let SOMEONE take a chance on me! Please lord, PLEASE!!"<br />
When I got home my Mom and I had a good long talk and we both prayed for the rest of the day.<br />
The next afternoon I got a call from an assisted living community that I had applied at a few weeks previous, asking if was free the next day for an interview!<br />
YES! Thank you Lord!<br />
Had the interview and was offered the job. <br />
I started work the next Monday ( two weeks to the day that Peanut passed..).<br />
They are training me to be a caregiver/Med aid. I had not really gone in for this job but it is the one that the Lord saw fit to open up to me so I am learning as fast as I can! <br />
It is a HUGE adjustment for me, but even though it is very hard work I am going to succeed at this if it kills me!!<br />
It just astounds me how God trains us for life. Life is not easy, no one ever said it would be but each part of it is training for the Next part. I started thinking of getting a job three years ago in a retirement community, but I see now that if I had gotten one I would NOT have been strong enough to handle it.<br />
~<br />
Here is a photo of me in my work duds!<br />
( Worst color EVER, but what are you going to do? ) <br />
<br />

<br />
With both my Mom and I working we found that we where going to have to get very creative about how each of us was going to get to work if I was working from 2p.m.-10p.m. and she was working from 10a.m.-4:30p.m. ...<br />
So my amazing parents went out he other night and we found a car that would work very nicely, and help me to get it! Am I blessed or what?!<br />
~<br />
So in the span of two months and a few days- <br />
My Dog has died ( Sad )-I got a job ( good )-I got a car ( GREAT )<br />~<br />
And in between of all this craziness I have been very busy knitting and sewing, and some more knitting!<br />
~<br />
So now in the future if I don't post for a bit I have a legit excuse! <br />
I am to busy working!<br />
Happy life Journeys~<br />

<div align="center">
Before Ft. Stevens, my last post had been about My 1863 coat project.<br />
</div>

After receiving some very good comments </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
( Thank you every one who left one! )<br />I decided that I would go the authentic rout and have the hood to the coat detached.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once I had come this conclusion, it was time to finalize my design.</div>

The fabric that I found online.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
100% Wool for $6.99 a yard!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is a great Red/Brown color.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got 5 1/2 yards, 58'' wide.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br />I decided that I would be using Dorset buttons for the closure.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had learned how to make them before Willamette</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
( That new brown dress with the buttons down the front. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yeah, thous are ALL hand made Dorset buttons...)</div>

You can find patterns for 1860's traveling coats but,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm cheap and decided that once again I could just make my own pattern.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
( This is turning into a habit... )<br />Here is the pile of all my pieces cut out and ready to go.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And here is the finished product.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Basically this is a cape with sleeves.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Coat sleeves in fact. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Four Dorset button closure, two pockets, jewel neckline, quilted hem.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And that is the coat in a nut shell.<br />( The quilted hem did not turn out as awesome as I thought it would. It would have been better if I had used a contrasting color instead of a thread that matched. So in the end it just makes the hem look crinkly, but I know that there is a beautiful paisly quilted hem that compliments the lining... )</div>

Now, as I made the hood removable I wanted there to be a fur collar as well as having fur around the hood.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found that the hood would not fit properly with a collar though.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So to solve this problem I made the collar removable.</div>

Hello stranger! </div>

This past year I have started volunteering at the High Desert Museum in the living history department (if you read my blog you should know this already...) <br />
I have one skirt and a bodice. only.. one.. bodice...<br />
<br />
This would not last long.<br />

I had no pattern that I liked enough for this fabric and what I had in mind.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I drafted my own pattern.</div>

....A cordedpetty coat! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At reenactments I have found that I hate having to wear a ridiculous hoop skirt. That I am constantly bumping into things, knocking things over, nearly catching myself on fire.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So this year I made a cordedpetty coat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is about two panels in width. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Instead of using cord by the yard witch can cost up to and beyond $3.99...A yard.. I took a cue from a good friend and used cotton cloths line instead! it took two 100 yard bundles at $4.99 apiece.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />The only down side that I have with this petticoat would have to be the sheer weight of it. When wearing it (with all my other layers as well.) I am a good ten pounds heavier. I'm not kidding.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So to combat this (literal) pain in the back I did a few different things. First- the butt pad. Not only does it give me that lovely hour glass shape, but it helps support the skirt. Second- a WIDE waist band.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br />Despite the fact that it is rather heavy ( By the end of the day you can't really feel the weight anymore. It's not <em>that</em> bad.. )</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I LOVE this pettycoat!!! I did not even wear my hoop for most of the events!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I may never wear a hoop out to a reenactment again, in fact! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
~</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Before each event I had to put a little TLC into the petticoat, IE- Iron and starch the heck out of that thing!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
when packing for McIver ( our last event of the year:( ) I found that after just two events and three starchings your petticoat WILL in fact stand by it's self! </div>

I love hats.</div>

My porkpie.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My all time favorite hat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is made of royal blue velvet over a buckram base. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is just a plain, round, flat top hat.</div>

I finally gave in this year and got a pair of Toms</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I don't know why I waited so long, they are SO comfy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well this summer I wore them pretty hard. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So in September, when I looked down and saw that my toe was about to pop through the end if I wasn't careful.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was rather upset! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are not the cheapest shoes out there and I was not about to throw them out when they DID get a hole!</div>

After ten years of having the same cape for reenacting I have finally decided that my disgust for, said cape has finally come to fruition.<br />
I am ready to move on.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
The cape, is one of those first sewing projects that all reenactors have jammed in the back of there closets.</div>
<div align="center">
The thing that was made from an unauthentic pattern, polyester lining, uncomfortable, what-have-you.</div>
<div align="center">
The cape is one of these things.</div>
<div align="center">
It works fine when it is cold, or raining cats and dogs but never a joy to wear. </div>
<div align="center">
( Plus I always feel that when starting the fire when wearing the cape I will some how light it on fire and Kacie would cease to be...)</div>

This is where I need YOUR help.</div>
<div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The coat that I designed is basically a cape with sleeves.</div>
<div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The thing I do like about cape's is that they have hoods. </div>
<div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I put a hood on my mock-up, I have not seen a picture of a coat with hood during or before the 1860's so my question to you is-</div>
<div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Does the hood make it look to modern?</div>
<div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Should I just go for a coat with no hood and just put a collar on it?</div>
<div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
PLEASE HELP!!!</div>

I had a Birthday!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My Mom and Dad got me a new sewing machine a few months back.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
( which I have already posted about.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But my Mom thought that she would give me something ON my birthday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since I am ALWAYS "stealing" her Quilting ruler, she decided that it was time I had one of my own :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It has already seen much use. </div>

Well. <br />
Yes I know I haven't blogged for a long time. <br />
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. <br />
:)<br />
<br />
~<br /><br />1904 waist #1.<br />
I finished the bodice a few months ago, and have worn it many times. <br />
I can't remember what pattern I used....sorry, if I remember I will put it up.<br />
The fabric is cotton calico, light brown with green print.</div>

It turned out OK. The thing I don't like the most about this bodice</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
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.</div>

I did the more authentic way of putting the lining in with the waist band.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
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.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I solved this problem by going the authentic way. Fancy that, they knew what they where doing!</div>

Time to finish this beast.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In my last post I ended with sewing the boning channels.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once that was done I put the boning in, put the binding on, laced it up and my fatal mistake. Waiting till every thing was sewn in place to try it on... When making a Corset, you should NOT do this....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you know I had to lengthen the corset by a few inches to make it fit properly. Well, it was long enough all right. I nearly cried when I tried it on and found that I couldn't sit down it was so long. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I proceded to rip out the binding, cutting off about one inch from the bottom, and resewing every thing back up...Once again, I nearly cried when I tried it on the SECOND time. I now had a hard choice to make. Do I let it slide and just avoid sitting down. Or do I do it the RIGHT way and rip out the binding again, cut about half the boning down anywhere from one to two and a half inches....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did the right thing. It took the better part of two days but, gosh darn it, I got it done. The third time that I tried it one I did NOT cry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All in all, I shortened it by about two and half inches.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
~</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once getting the length finally figured out, I was able to start finishing it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fun stuff. sewing the X's at the bottom of the boning, and putting the wide lace at the top.</div>

I am very pleased with how it came out.</div>

One of the best parts is that it is a very comfy corset. I know you wouldn't think that a corset could or would be comfy, but if you have a corset that is made FOR YOU and that fits you like a glove. You can easily wear it all day and at the end of the day not be screaming to take the thing off. </div>

And there you have it! the Beast. When starting this corset I thought it would be a rather hellish sort of project, but it turned out not to be as bad as it could have been.<br />
In fact after making this corset I would like to re-do my 1860's corset. Not anytime soon though...<br />
<br />
Happy Corseting~<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Where to begin? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In my first 1902 corset post I ended with finishing the re-drafted pattern.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After getting the pattern ready I had to decide what type of fabric I wanted it to be made out of.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can use anything from silk, wool or cotton to construct a corset.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose some lovely cream colored twill.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>

You really only need to line a corset if you are making it out of something light weight like silk, or cashmere, but I decided that I would line it anyway. So I wouldn't need to get twill tape for the boning channels.<br />

On the outer seems I decide to do french seems. It takes longer but it makes it look much better. Plus it gives the corset added strength. I did regular seems on the lining. Once I had the outside and lining done I had to wait a few weeks before we where able to order the boning and other needed supplies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In fact it's the opposite. I am doing so much that I have no time to post.<br />

<br />
A few weeks ago I finally finished my Mom's bonnet.<br />
The part that I was stuck on? <br />
Making the roses...<br />
They are made like a normal ribbon roses, but instead of using ribbon, I used strips of silk.<br />
Here are all the flowers, finished and ready to be put on the bonnet.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUPEyD0LtW5y9bVnpayqA0rJ1UJlYk-3T9gcma25AOwmCSzNoNewprzfx9kUbZp1JWiiNRv1co8uzikfe5TDTI2glFzJY_IDgQu4SKtiHBhD2Aveq-jGZBsLm6WfRjsSTsEv6A89erzPWY/s1600/DSCN3002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img aea="true" border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUPEyD0LtW5y9bVnpayqA0rJ1UJlYk-3T9gcma25AOwmCSzNoNewprzfx9kUbZp1JWiiNRv1co8uzikfe5TDTI2glFzJY_IDgQu4SKtiHBhD2Aveq-jGZBsLm6WfRjsSTsEv6A89erzPWY/s320/DSCN3002.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Decorating the bonnet has to be one of my least favorite parts about making a bonnet. I know, you would think it is the best part!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I do not think this.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I have always found it hard trying to figure out what looks good and what just looks like crap.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">~</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When decorating a bonnet it is best to start with the base ribbon.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixIh8p5Dfl9qjUp4Y7OUnQAsJqoh4h1qliZ11MlYu1WjUkqW7_9Xe9R-RGzcP4MODjyKDSPrhl9PQDKyeOv5osx8rp6jpBuZ_gQR6mCNxGm9Uh8moMofUwEetcYDM2oNIOpnfqKtLjQSnT/s1600/DSCN3005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img aea="true" border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixIh8p5Dfl9qjUp4Y7OUnQAsJqoh4h1qliZ11MlYu1WjUkqW7_9Xe9R-RGzcP4MODjyKDSPrhl9PQDKyeOv5osx8rp6jpBuZ_gQR6mCNxGm9Uh8moMofUwEetcYDM2oNIOpnfqKtLjQSnT/s320/DSCN3005.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Once you get the ribbon on the way you want it. Pin the flowers on in different ways to see what you like the best. When you find the arrangement you like the best, sew it all down. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And poof! You have a finished bonnet!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

A New Corset cover. <br />
My old one... Had to many *cough* plastic buttons to try and do at 6:30 in the morning while teeth are chattering thinking of when you can get the fire started to get warm.<br />
plus the pattern is a bit to late for that era.<br />
~<br />
So to design my own pattern.<br />
I had a picture to go off from my Godeys lady's book.<br />
I figured out that all <br />
I really needed to do was make a basic bodice then lengthen the bottom.<br />
Plus make the neck rounded.<br />

So we where invited to the Museum to have a meeting with her to talk about the possibilities of having a mini reenactment.</div><div align="center">During the course of this meeting we found that we might want to start volunteering for the living history.</div><div align="center">~</div><div align="center">The year that the museum portrays is 1904, this is far different from 1863...</div><div align="center">But being happy to have a excuse to sew any type of new costume I am jumping in head first.</div><div align="center">When thinking about what all I need to sew I knew that to get the right 'S' curve shape so famous from the early 1900's I knew that my current corset would NOT work...</div><div align="center">~<br />

I know, I blush at the fact now.)</div><div align="center">So a few weeks ago I decided to start on my chemise's. </div><div align="center">The ones that I have had in the past where the Simplicity off the shoulder ones. they are period currect, but that doesn't mean I like them, I never wore them off the shoulder and they always seemed to be VERY uncomfertable. How ever, I have one chemise that I do like. It had once been a night gown that a friend had given to me with the hopes of being of some use, and it fulfilled that destiny!</div><div align="center">It was more of a yoke style, and I found that I really liked that! I liked the fact that it was not gathered around the shoulders but still had the fullness at the *blush* bust.</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Having no pattern for this style of pattern. I decided to practice my drafting skills.</div><div align="center">First I made the preliminary pattern that had the basic shape of what I wanted.</div><div align="center"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For Christmas my Mom got me the Costco pack of Sharpie's and I have to say that having almost every color under the sun in sharpie really comes in handy when drafting!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">after tracing the prelim' pattern on more paper, using a differint color to reshap as needed. this way you always know which color to cut on...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
