Greetings, salutations, and other forms of hello! Welcome to my blog. I'm eighteen years old and trying to navigate my way through life and through different eras of time. I intend to accomplish the latter by sewing outfits inspired by, or accurate to, certain periods of time.
I'm currently preparing for a Great Gasby-themed graduation/birthday party. I'm so excited! I think I bought perfect fabric and everything, I just need to adjust a pattern and figure out the skirting, then I'm golden.
At the moment, I'm in love with fashions from the end of the eighteenth century (about 1765-1799), the beginning of the nineteenth century (1800-1825-ish), the middle of the nineteenth century (1850-1869) \, the beginning of the twentieth century (1900-1919), the 1920's and the 1950's. I hope to be able to recreate or approximate fashion from all those time periods before I go to college at the end of the summer. In addition, I will also endeavor to create clothing that is wearable in my day-to-day life.
I'm planning for this to not only be a journal of my journey as a seamstress but also a journal of my journey as I grow as a person. Thank you for reading this far, and I hope you continue to.
Now, please enjoy a picspam of my and my
dancing group at our last two events: Dover Days and the Chestertown Tea Party in Maryland.

Certainly not my finest picture, but it was the end of
the day and I was exhausted. After Dover Days. |
