Happy almost Friday! I promise my fabric choices were better than my lipstick color.
I forgot to mention it, but the store closing is Amin Fabrics / 268 W 39th St, New York, NY 10018
I believe Sunday is their last day. Out of respect for the owner I didn't mention exact prices for the majority of the materials.
Also worth noting - since these materials are for business purposes or unplanned projects, I paid for them all myself :)
I did add it all up but I can't remember whether it was 160 or 180 yards. I do remember the weight though. Since it was 100 degrees, 90 percent humidity, and I had to carry it all myself.
(I might have gotten majorly dehydrated during that process. but glitter fabric. so worth it)

![How to Sew on Sequins
Another short one, but on something I get a lot of requests for - sewing on sequins! Most of my projects involve this process in some way or another, hopefully seeing it in this format makes it seem like something you can do on your own projects!
FUN SEQUIN FACT they have existed for many centuries, there is even evidence they were worn in ancient Grecian times, since small metal discs are described as being used to decorate garments.
In the eighteenth century they were popular in court fashion, again being made out of metal. In the 1900s glass sequins became popular, and were eventually followed by the much cheaper and lighter plastic ones we use today.
The sequins in this video were purchased in the garment district, but you can also get them from bead shops and a huge variety of sellers sell them on etsy and ebay.

![Fabric Unboxing / Review
Sorry for the late upload - I was supposed to have a Making of Video go up yesterday, but I didn’t finish editing it in time. :( It will be up next week for sure, and in the mean time here is a filler-ish video. I’d hoped to share a really great website for cheap fabrics, and show that making historical costumes doesn’t have to be expensive. And I (think?) this video accomplishes part of that goal - I did end up getting enough fabric for several complete projects, some of which will only cost $30 to make. But I did have a few issues with my order, which I go over in the video.
Website I ordered from: https://www.fashionfabricsclub.com/
Since this video was more negative focused then planned I just wanted to mention that the fabrics are all nice quality materials, ecspecially for the price, I was just really surprised by the damage to them. Its very possible that they were busy with the sale and let usual standards drop.
Im still really looking forward to working with the materials. And none of the issues are horrible. Its more the fact that almost every material had an issue of some sort that I find troubling.
Materials I purchased:
16201 / Caramel Brown Wool Suiting - 5 yards
44488 / Mint Green Plaid Shirting - 7 yards
19372 / Tan Plaid “Shantung - 7 yards
16379 / Pale Yellow Stripe Cotton - 8 yards
16246 / Ivory Semi Sheer Rayon 5 and a 1/4 yards
42635X/ Brown/Rust Plaid Tweed Suiting 1/2 yard
Things mentioned:
Inspiration for plaid green dress : https://www.pinterest.com/pin/333266441157912366/
Original plans (that won’t work since I didnt realize what sheer rayon feels like) for the rayon checked material: https://janeaustensworld.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/round-gowns-heideloff-gallery-of-fashion-1794-1802.jpg
Edwardian suit - this is similar to what I have in mind, but its based on references in a vintage magazine I havent uploaded anywhere yet!: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/86/8f/4a/868f4aceefaf615832fec1e13c102667.jpg
And I’ve actually already begun working with the yellow material - it’s going to be a late 18th century round robe. The first progress update on it is posted here!: https://doxiequeen1.wordpress.com/?s=yellow+striped+1790%27s+round+robe

Happy Wednesday! I finally got photos of this project worn, which means I can share the process of making it with you!! Check the info box for more information on what inspired me/what I would do differently!
...
As mentioned in the video, if you arent comfortable or dont have the option of draping/drafting these from scratch, start out with a fitted 18th century bodice/jacket pattern, then alter it to have tabs and the neckline you want. The shape should be pretty similar to the pattern I drafted with a little tweaking and a few mock ups to make sure you have it right!!
Pieces that inspired this one:

q. What are jumps?:
They are a foundation garment, but one that was considered appropriate enough to be seen. At least in countries with more casual approaches to fashion during the 1700s, or lower class women who needed the extra mobility that they allow.
They are shaped similarly to stays, but dont offer nearly the amount of support or reduction since they have way less (if any) boning in them. Instead the stiffness of the fabric is what supports the body.
...
ALSO I know it wasnt totally clear (I didnt explain it well), but the main change I would make to this is creating a separate layer of lining that has the boning channels. This would be sewn to the quilted floral/batting/cotton layer AFTER its been quilted, before the binding is added. That way there isnt quite as much hand work.

The peacock feathers from the seller, American Feathers, are listed as being naturally molted and cruelty free. I havent investigated that claim further - but I do have fond memories of collecting shed peacock feathers in fields at a zoo when I was younger. So I know it is possible!

![Edwardian Hat Tutorial
This video is kind a of a beast. But hopefully I covered all the steps clearly and it justifies the length (youll have to let me know!) Link to the pattern used are down below!
Oof my background is a mess in that intro. Its been chaotic here, okay!!

✩Heavy duty thread: the one featured in this video is by Coats & Clarks, and called Extra Strong. Ive NEVER had this thread break on me, its great and not too expensive ($2 a spool) but isnt required for this project. It just makes it easier.
✩Wire: I was using 18 gauge picture hanging wire - but the wires purpose doesnt matter, as long as it is thin enough to be bendable and strong enough to hold its shape. Id personally recommend galvanized steel wire.
✩Interfacing : The interfacing used is by pellon, here is a direct link:
http://www.joann.com/pellon-stabilizer-interfacing-by-the-yard/1261502.html#pmax=10&pmin=5&start=1
It feels like felt but is much stiffer. You can get the type with or without fusible webbing; it doesnt matter that much.
✩Buckram: Ive used this one and had good luck https://www.onlinefabricstore.net/heavy-buckram-fabric-.htm
I think all the fabrics were from the garment district, I dont remember wear though. Sorry!
The nail polish is Sunflowers from illiminte. But I call it pin head yellow.

Youtube likes to mark my videos as not suitable for all advertisers because its algorithm is broken. Ad revenue doesnt cover material costs for most projects featured in videos; much less a wage for the time spent filming and editing.
