As you all may know, every so often I get the miniature crafting bug again, and with a recent rewatch of the Harry Potter movies, I was feeling the Hogwarts vibes! So I made these mini trunks-all four houses are represented of course, and I filled them with all sorts of mini magical items!

Autumn inspired Regency bonnet
August 21, 2022 By Leave a Comment
I knew I wanted to trim a Regency bonnet, for sure! We were out in the sun a bit during the day and it just fit the whole look! I grabbed this bonnet, which was a great shape for the time period, maybe not super historically accurate, but still pretty close. I found all the florals to trim it at Michaels, and had so much fun placing them and … [Read more...]

This spencer was a labor of love. I spent so many hours on it I don't even want to know. I learned a lot though, and had a lot of fun making the trim and adding it! Many audio books and tv shows were consumed while making the trim. It's called rouleaux trim, and this blog post was extremely well written and helpful when I was researching and … [Read more...]

I finally made the hard decision (lol) to give up my craft room for Sadie, and I had SO much fun making this room over for her. It took weeks of work to downsize and empty out my craft room, (not to mention the design and planning and shopping! oh darn shopping), and the cover story was that we were making it into a combo craft room/guest room, … [Read more...]
Regency Little white dress
November 2, 2021 By 5 Comments
I knew I wanted to make the Regency wardrobe foundation: the little white dress. I made it out of this fantastic fabric and it worked great for the pattern I used! It shrunk a lot, but luckily steaming the fabric kinda stretched it back out again, if that makes sense? It was kind of gauze like, so it was so very comfortable to wear! The pattern … [Read more...]

I know what you're thinking...she's sewing again!? I'm just as flabbergasted but there is a good reason! I have always loved the Regency time period, Jane Austen books and films, and my sister is an author of some amazing Regency novels! So when I heard about the Regency Retreat from her, I knew I had to go! (they're sold out this year already!) … [Read more...]
