Sini TuuliaToday I have been to a little walkies in the little forest and next to the little swamp! It was a lovely day, sunny but not hot, with a fresh wind. I didn't bring a hat so I borrowed Mum's, and it went nicely with my outfit!
Having ironed all of the little white underthings I had in the ironing basket, I am struck by the realisation that I've made rather a many, and that they're rarely all clean at the same time. There's at least a dozen!
Lea 💚🧵🛠️📊🥧🇺🇦🇵🇸@queerde Ich würd zwar nicht reinpassen, und wahrscheinlich wärs auch kulturelle Aneignung (bin Norddeutsche), aber ich hab schon was übrig für (pseudo)historische Klamotten...Ich find den Teil der #Moderne , der sich Blümchen und Sexiness nicht gönnt, bissl traurig.

Among one of the benefits of wearing a big honking Victorian floor length skirt with petticoat just because... Is how if you have to do a number of full turns to go back into a room because you forgot something once again, instead of an irate little stomp and shuffle, you'll be doing some grand sweeps as your skirt goes whoosh and the hems flare out. 💃
With entirely disproportionate effort, I bring you these shitty clips of me trying to show off the green skirt I made a while back, and it unsurprisingly immediately becoming Karvinen Time.
I don't think I've ever posted about how I store my clothes? But here they are, except the jackets and coats. A borderline unmanageable amount for me to wear and care for even though there's not that many items all in all.
I keep them in these open air wardrobe and clothes scaffolds to help them stay fresh and to remember they all exist. 😆 Details in alt text!
Lauma Pret ♡ ᪲᪲᪲🌈As it is an end-of-19th century walking skirt and two very soft fabrics, the proper things would be to add stiffening layer to the bottom part. But I don't have anything useful, and I'm not sure what kind of material should I get to keep things both natural and gently washable on occasion. I wonder, will wearing a petticoat or two counter the flimsiness or am I making a big mistake...

Yesterday I managed to interline and thread-mark the rest of my big skirt pieces. Tried a new method (for me) – laying the cut piece of fashion fabric very smoothly on the uncut lining, basting on the seamlines together and then cutting out the lining piece. The contemporary method would be to heat-fuse two layers together, but I'm curious what can I achieve with older methods.
Whenever I'l have time next it'll be pockets, waistband and putting together. #HistoryBounding #LaumaŠuj #Sewing

As the most sane person, I've spent months complaining that I don't have enough linen shifts... and then I spent yesterday 6 hours on the floor cutting out and threadmarking wool walking skirt. And now my whole body is sore muscles. #sewing #HistoryBounding #LaumaŠuj
But then, I do also know a lot of people enjoy seeing sewing content from me, as I like to explain what I'm doing and why, and the satisfying bits of it tickle many people. I sort of get it, as I like to watch costumers and sewists myself, but...
In any case. I'm not planning on doing much sewing soon, and don't feel like reposting old content, so if you'd like to look at sewing from me, I invite you do click the hashtags #Sewing, #HistoricalFashion and #HistoryBounding and "Browse posts from..." with my username, so you can see as much of the old stuff that has been federated to you!
