Skip to main content. Skip to secondary content. 1770s Robe à l’Anglaise Retroussée Using Ikea’s Ljusöga Fabric. August 21, 2016. At Costume College I wore my finished robe à l’Anglaise retroussée, previously debuted in an unfinished form at the Pirate Festival. I don’t have all my formal portraits yet, but Andrew Schmidt, the official CoCo photographer, put up this picture as one of the preview shots. Photo by Andrew Schmidt. The dress is made from one king-sized Ikea duvet cover! Unlike the previous ti...

Chemise a la –wah wah…. | Belle Mode, Belle Histoire
https://bellemodebellehistoire.wordpress.com/2016/05/07/chemise-a-la-wah-wah
Belle Mode, Belle Histoire. Sewing fashions of the past. Chemise a la –wah wah…. Chemise a la reine. Asymp; 2 Comments. Chemise a la reine. My chemise a la Reine/Oberkampf was not. Where my finger is–that’s where the waist channel should be: about 3 inches above where it currently sits at center front. The underbust channel sits between my waist and underbust in the 18th century stays, so it has to be shifted up by about 2 inches. These aren’t insurmountable problems, but I only had 1 day left to m...

Monday, October 13, 2014. Journal Journey into the year 1811: Three months late? I HAVE A REALLY GOOD REASON. Here is July. Ok, ok, I know that I am really horrible about updating my blog, and following is pretty much pointless unless you like going months between updates but hear me out. I Was at. Malmaison. Anyway, now to the fun stuff! If you haven't already, hop over to the other lovely ladies in Germany, France, and the other end of London! Plate 4 - Opera Dress. Plate 5 - Promenade Costume.

A jacket in the style of Chanel – Fearless Sewing
https://fearlesssewing.wordpress.com/2015/10/08/a-jacket-in-the-style-of-chanel
Just cut the damn fabric already! October 8, 2015. A jacket in the style of Chanel. Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, 1960, wearing one of her iconic cardigan suits. I’ll be using the newest Claire Shaeffer pattern from Vogue, #8991. A white-flecked black wool/nylon blend (mostly wool) boucle-type fabric from Hancock Fabrics, charcoal grey silk charmeuse for the lining, and gorgeous pewter and black enamel buttons. It’ll be fun, right? Pewter and black enamel buttons from Treasure Cast. My primary inspiration is ...

September is National Sewing Month! – Fearless Sewing
https://fearlesssewing.wordpress.com/2016/09/01/september-is-national-sewing-month
Just cut the damn fabric already! September 1, 2016. September is National Sewing Month! Wow, how did it get to be September already? Oh, the days pass one by one like grains of sand through an hourglass, you say? August 31 is inevitably followed by September 1? Well, dang. Who knew the calendar was so regular? What September means to me is a conglomeration of things: the official start of Fall and crisper weather (ahem, eventually); both my mother’s and my own birthdays (Virgo power! One thought on &ldq...

Night-blooming Garden Dress – Fearless Sewing
https://fearlesssewing.wordpress.com/2016/09/08/night-blooming-garden-dress
Just cut the damn fabric already! September 8, 2016. My Upton dress party dress project is. I installed the zipper and finished the back seams last night. All that’s left is two hems, hand stitching the lining’s waistline down, and adding a hook and eye to the top of the zipper opening. Here’s a preview of the finished dress, which I’ve dubbed the Night-blooming Garden Dress. The color rendering in my sewing room is strange because the walls are lime-juice green. This entry was posted in Fancy Dress.

Upton dress progress! – Fearless Sewing
https://fearlesssewing.wordpress.com/2016/09/06/upton-dress-progress
Just cut the damn fabric already! September 6, 2016. Holiday weekends can be lifesavers when it comes to making steady progress on projects. This Labor Day weekend I spent mostly in my sewing room working on my hand-printed Upton dress, and I made great progress. Which is good, because my friend’s wedding is next Sunday. Eek! This technique works perfectly, and I use it every time I have to sew a dart. Hand basting darts is tedious. But it works every time! This entry was posted in Progress report. Leave...

Stephani – Fearless Sewing
https://fearlesssewing.wordpress.com/author/stephthecostumer
Just cut the damn fabric already! September 20, 2016. French designer jacket project update. It’s actually not so hard to believe that this Chanel-style jacket project. Has been sitting on the shelf for, hmmm, let’s see… just about 1 year! It’s complicated and ambitious. I don’t. It, but I would like to. Make it. The planning is done so there’s nothing but grinding work ahead. This is too good of an opportunity to pass up. Fitting was always going to be the most painful part of the process. It looks much...
