He's lazy and copycats your design

I'm looking for a good pattern for a chemise.

Any of my seamstress friends have one they like?

Fabric will be linen.

End result something along these lines. I can adjust the sleeve length and curve myself if I can find a good pattern for the body.

I found this online and can adjust length but I've never sewn in gussets like this before.

Historical costuming

Some bonus dress pics, and perp the matching scrunchie 🥰 the fabric is sooo light so it doesn't even feel heavy, despite using a bunch of yardage. I followed Jess Dangs video on youtube and then adjusted to my curves.

Making another waistcoat using my tried and trsted pattern. First time using suedette fabric. It feels a bit thicker than most of the stuff I've used before, but man does it take a good top stitch!
(The photo of course can't show you how strokeably tactile it is, this is going to take me twice as long to see it up as I keep stopping to check out the nap!)

Just finished making a linen summer dress. It‘s comfortable and the colour I want, fits, and won’t shrink or fall apart. This is more than I can say for most of the clothing I’ve ever bought. #sewing #dressmaking
One shirt, two looks. Now that’s what we call Miparti!

I didn’t have enough fabric for a shirt with only one print, so I decided to go medieval and do a shirt split down the middle. It’s a very flattering silhouette and the chaos of the fabric really livens an outfit up.

John Tenniel is famous for illustrating Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through The Looking-Glass.
Here is his darker depiction of a view through the looking-glass, revealing a seamstress who died doing round the clock overtime to meet the demands of the high-society Season.
One wonders what Tenniel would have made of modern fast fashion.

Sometimes I take on commissions from friends and acquaintances, and this was one of those.
A buddy wanted a vegan tulle boa for his wrestling matches. In bright purple. How could I refuse?

I keep thinking about a late summer glade, full of bilberry brush. The grass is always greener, I suppose.
