I wrote this post out on tumblr because I've been getting a lot of questions about machines and I thought it might perhaps be a bit helpful and/or interesting for some people, and then I figured I ought to post it here too.

Late last year I learned about bobbinwork embroidery, which involves winding a very thick thread or yarn onto the sewing machine bobbin.

I have had this blog for 13 years now!

I made a necklace holder and now I finally have a good place to store my necklaces.

I'd been wanting to make an 18th century style wrapper for ages.

Last year I got a serger for free.

For as long as I've been sewing I've had the problem of starting projects and not finishing them.

(I say 1750's-ish because the fabric is a bit inaccurate looking, but only a bit.)

Or, Vince's Extremely Niche Shopping Guide for Persons Intending to Make Pieces of Historical Costume Using Obi Silk, Especially From One Specific Ebay Shop Apologies in advance to anyone who finds these as difficult to resist as I do.

This is my 12th year in review post, my goodness.

I've finally remade that shirt tutorial I wrote back in early 2020!

This is the third part of my machine sewn shirt tutorial.

Part 1 of the written tutorial covered the measuring & cutting, and this part will cover the construction.

18th century shirts are my favourite kind of shirt!

I have finally finished the video on how I sew gloves!

I've managed to post this before the end of January this time, hooray!

Since I've made videos on thread covered and fabric covered buttons, and sleeve links, it's time I made a buttonhole video too.

At long last, my patchwork dressing gown is finished, and so is the video about making it!

A coat for my everyday wardrobe that I made back in early spring of last year.

I made some more everyday shirts (last year- I'm still very behind on blogging), and they're all so similar that they don't need individual blog posts.

It's finally finished!

Oh heck, we're nearing the end of January already and I still haven't done a year in review post!

I meant to post this in October and forgot, oops.

Hello!

I made another hand sewn shirt!

I made this some months ago, but have been very slow about blogging, as usual.
