Sini Tuulia<p>Quickly slapped on wig, lipstick, scarf and hat to document it this much at least! It's way too warm in my living room for this. 😆 I may have done multiple more little dances in addition to this one here!</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/1890sCheckJacket" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>1890sCheckJacket</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/HistoryBounding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HistoryBounding</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/HistoricalFashion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HistoricalFashion</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sewing</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Tailoring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tailoring</span></a></p>
Sini Tuulia<p>So. I took the sleeve off, partially unpicked it, took out a scoop of fabric off the front seam of the upper sleeve, turned the cuffs a bit more, and did the same to the other sleeve. And then put one sleeve back on. Better. It's hours later and my hands hurt, but it's better. 😂 (Fitting gif!)</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/1890sCheckJacket" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>1890sCheckJacket</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sewing</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/HistoryBounding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HistoryBounding</span></a></p>
Sini Tuulia<p>My head feels light. 😂 To procrastinate doing anything with the sleeves next I tried it on for the first time... And it fits! It should have since I made it off a previously fitted pattern, but still! Oh gods, it's almost exactly as it should be, and the things I'd have liked to change cannot be changed at this point so here we are. 😆 (Fitting gifs.)</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/1890sCheckJacket" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>1890sCheckJacket</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sewing</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/HistoryBounding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HistoryBounding</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Tailoring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tailoring</span></a></p>

Sini Tuulia<p>So, I cut out the pieces of this linen guimpe I'm making. Piecing together the front and back yoke, with lace... And tried out my new seam guide presser foot and my twin needle for these fast machine sewn pintucks. I am pretty sure I might put them into half the things I make from now on. 😆 </p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sewing</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/HistoryBounding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HistoryBounding</span></a></p>
Sini Tuulia<p>I put on the little linen bodice I made last month! I hadn't even tried it on then, so I'm pleased that it fits this well. 😄 Ideally you'd wear a corset under something like this, or line it, but it's quite nice even without! Gif contains little spin and dance wearing it.</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/HistoryBounding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HistoryBounding</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sewing</span></a></p>

It's finished apart from the closures, which need to be buttons on the sleeves but might also become snaps or hooks and bars for the front, unknown at this point. If I find the perfect buttons, I'd prefer those!
Anyway, terrible photo.

A terrible and unflattering flash photograph of a natural linen colour linen bodice on a hanger, which in turn is hanging off a door. It has a tall standing collar almost entirely covered by a pale and dark linen lace, the same lace going down the front and across the shoulder and down the back, at princess seams. It has sleeves that are very full at the head, moderately full at the elbow and gathered onto very tall cuffs with different but harmonising lace on the wrist of them. The bodice is only waist length, and there's a simple unadorned waistband. The bodice itself is loosely held closed with safety pins, one at neck, waist and both sleeve cuffs. Even hanging on a simple wooden hanger it has quite a lot of shape and structure.

Join me for a brief adventure of a slapdash formatted thread about how I made this cute little Victorian-ish camisole from repurposed linen? Materials used: older linen shift I'd been using as a night dress and undershirt, a bunch of this nice linen lace I experimentally bought, thread, buttons. Combination of hand and machine sewing. A thread, part 1 out of...?

A nice and mostly abstract close up photo of the very front of a sparling white garment that looks to be a dainty little top with white shell buttons and insertion lace criss crossing its front in two little V:s or chevrons. Sini's hand is in the frame, her distinctive and myriad silver rings proclaiming that this is indeed something she made, like a caveman slapping their hand onto a painting. The image is mostly an attractive placeholder, with not that much informational value, but it looks nice.

It's pretty much finished! I still need to whipstitch the hem from the inside and the sun will probably set before I get around to it, so here's photos. My newest "let's make a comfy house blouse whoops shit it looks pretty fancy" shirt. 😆 It's meant to be cinched in by a skirt waistband, also. Estonian organic linen, own vaguely Late Victorian pattern, more handsewing than planned.

A closer up photo which shows the collar and some of the front of a black linen shirt with a grey and white striped standing collar, on a wooden clothes hanger. There are sparkly, shiny and textured black buttons, which have a sort of swirly motif on them. The fullness of the bust dart has been gathered to the neckline, and it falls in graceful bodied folds, like linen does. The button placket is neatly topstitched along its edges, making a nice dressy front. The buttons are arranged in pairs of twos. The top buttonhole looks a tiny bit messy because the thread used is black and the fabric is very fraying and grey.
Photo of a cuff, which is the gray fabric again. It is fairly tall, about a hand's width, with three of those same sparkly black buttons. The softness of the linen is apparent in how the stripes of the fabric live a bit. The sleeve slit has the narrowest little top-stitch and it can be seen that the front of the sleeve sits pretty smooth, and has both fullness and extra length at the back, for the elbow.
Full shirt, hanging on the hanger from a door. There is some basting thread still visible on the very narrow hem of the shirt. The fineness and thinness of the linen can be seen because in fairly bright sunlight it's very slightly sheer. The fullness from the neck falls gracefully and nicely, and the eight buttons at the front are nicely arranged, in pairs and to secure the collar. The sleeves are three quarters length and very full at the top, billowing comfortably. It looks fairly simple and utilitarian if you're Victorian, but rather dressy and fancy if you're a modern person used to T-shirts.
Back view of the same. The back has a reinforced yoke, the sleeve fullness at the front is much greater than at the back, and the fabric is, once again, just very very nice. From the back it looks much more like a modern dressy button up shirt.

Continuing with the shirtwaist and oh gosh hecking darn this linen is so beautiful? Look at it! And I've been holding the bodice part this way and that while hand finishing the insides!
I was originally going to top stitch along the edge with two lines of black thread, but I don't know, it just kind of looks very pretty like this.

The body and collar of a half finished shirt laid on a convenient surface, with Sini's hand for scale and colour adjustment on top of it. The sleeves are missing, but it's now possible to see the overall feel of the blouse. It's in black linen and a striped grey and white linen. There is a neatly finished button placket with buttonholes spaced out in pairs of two, the bust dart fullness has been gathered onto the neck and is descending in pleasant smooth ripples, the back and shoulder yoke gives a bit of malleable structure and the tall standing collar looks both soft and very crisp. The stripes of the fabric have bent a bit at the very front, a sign of how soft the linen is. The inside of the collar is the black linen, giving a rather cool looking effect of the neck hole vanishing into a pit of darkness, like a shirt worn by an invisible woman. Sini is wearing a bunch of cute silver rings.

Meanwhile, in sewing land. Started working on this linen shirtwaist yesterday. I used the very last scraps of a previous blouse to cut out a collar and the cuffs, and tried some buttonholes by hand last night. The first was terrible, the second and third much better! The buttons found in a notions hoard have this very thick shank, so I decided to cut out the buttonholes to accommodate. We'll see how it holds up, at least it looks nicer!

A photo of the front pattern piece of a shirt, with a neatly top-stitched button placket, two buttons, an unfinished unturned collar and the paper pattern behind them, showing a shitty illustration of the garment to be. There's pink basting threads holding the work area still. The linen is black, the collar fabric is grey with white stripes, the black stand buttons have a vaguely seaweed-like pattern on them, and the illustration shows a shirt with a blousy front, gathering at the neckline, and three quarter length sleeves with a wide cuff. The back of the shirt has a yoke and is fitted.

After eleven million years of doing battle with the linen shirt it's almost done. I just need to hem it. The buttons are a bit wonky and the fabric is difficult to take photos of, and I changed thread colour after doing the sleeve vents, but here we are. The buttons are at the back of neck! Sort of a rustic vintage blouse.

A top down photo of a finished looking blouse or shirt, laid down on a desk with a keyboard and stuff. The fabric is a woven stripe of white, ivory and black, sort of making a gray effect. There's a standing collar with decorative stitching for structure and vibes, a lot of linen has been gathered onto the yoke, the sleeves look very large. The yoke looks nicely done and encapsulates most seam allowances. The keyboard is just utterly full of cat hair.
Detail of the back buttons. The back of the same yoke has been cut on the bias, making most of a fun chevron effect. The buttons are simple shell buttons with two holes. The stitching is white and mostly neat. The fabric looks like it wants to flop around everywhere. Sini's hand is in the frame, with myriad silver rings and longish natural nails. There's a cute pair of rainbow metal scissors also.
Not a very good photo of the cuff and vent. The sleeve vent or slit has been reinforced with a narrow strip of the same fabric, the stripes going in the opposite direction of the sleeve, the same direction as the cuff. There are four small shell buttons for holding the tall cuff closed. They are currently unbuttoned, showing the absolute trash quality machine sewn buttonholes.

If I may, might I direct your attention to my favourite hat I ever made!
It is absolutely enormous and fits on top of some truly chunky wigs and is wider than my actual shoulders in some places!

The construction is on top of a repurposed sinamay base, steamed and remoulded, covered in velvet and just a bunch of different veiling and crin tube to simulate the movement of feathers sans feathers!

Three photos in a grid, of Sini wearing historically inspired clothing of an indeterminate Victorian or Edwardian style. She is wearing an enormous black velvet hat with a very very wide partially upturned brim. That bit is filled with a jaunty nest of dotted veiling and artistically curling bits of sheer black crinoline tube, which resemble the shape of cocque feathers you'd often see in vintage and historical hats. She is also wearing a closely fitting little black jacket with decorative brown lapels and a puffy sleeve head, a floor length skirt with brown and blue stripes in a chevron pattern, and a very large black shawl and light grey purple wig in a bun. The different views of the hat provided reveal the other side of it to have a fun spiral pattern to the application of the velvet, cleverly wrapped around the huge crown. The velvet has nice bits of deep black and shiny gray according to the grain of the fabric.
