    Today in the elfkin workroom: Nick's #PinstripeTrousers continue in the pocket phase. And I did a test stitch out of the turtle for the back pocket of Jeff's jeans. #sewing #ElfkinCouture

    Thinking about this old book I read, "How to make over old dresses" by Augusta Prescott, 1892.

    And, at the end, quite sweet despite the patina of the era: "WHEN you have completed your dress, it may not be perfect in every respect, but if you have been careful, it will surely be very nice, and something of which you may be very proud, because it represents much care and thought.Finish it well to the last loop, and sew in the dress shields. Take out the basting threads, be sure that the seams are finished, and that it is all in “‘apple-pie order.”Don’t point out to people any defects that may exist.Do not lift up the overskirt to show that the underskirt is pieced down with goods of a different kind.Do not show that the under-arm pieces are faded.Do not tell anybody that the full front covers buttonholes that are torn out.Do not say that the beautiful bias band around the bottom of the skirt hides a ghastly muslin gap. --"

    Skirt on the waistband! Can't wait for kiddo to try it on so I can check level and make sure it hangs well without the pillow doing weird things It's just 3 straight panels of 60" inch wide fabric. The arrangement of box pleats was faaaar trickier than I had anticipated. Victorian waistbands are surprisingly sloppy by modern standards. The extra fabric is just folded down and hangs inside the skirt, adding bulk for the waist spring. Trooper as always immediately hides under the hoops. He gets super excited when a hoop skirt is set up. Loves dashing in and out.And yes, he will play hide and seek under the skirt while it is being worn.#sewing #HistoricalCostuming #CatsOfMastodon
